  • Remote Start Range

    I've noticed the range on the factory remote start sucks. Sometimes I'll have the range to lock the doors, but then not to remote start. Anybody else have this problem?

    To open the doors, you must be approximately 3-60 feet away from the vehicle.. to use the remote start you can be approx. 197 feet away from the vehicle. Your case seems to be backwards

        What if I'm only 2 feet away from the vehicle?

                My remote start works at like, 50 feet. If I want a longer range I have to hold the remote to my chin (yes, brain waves)...probably not good for the brain though

                  I actually have the same issue...

                  I can get the car to detect the lock pulse from far away, but the remote start never kicks in until much closer.

                    Interesting because range of all functions is supposed to be the same.

                        Liability, same reason max torque specs on trannys are only as high as the most powerful engine its mated to.

                          I get more range unlocking and locking the car, as far as starting the thing the range suxorz. Nice to have but it's crippled.

                            Unlocking and locking range is fine on my car.

                            To start my car I have to be in it.

                              dont know if thats true or not, but if the remote start works at 197 feet, whats the point? the door button works only till 60 feet, u need to push the lock button to use the remote start
