I tried out both from inside the house, aiming at the back of the car, neither one would start the car. Later when I went out to move my car, I started it from almost 75 feet away from the front.Can you try your other key FOB just to rule out a bad one?
I did mine from the back once, maybe 15 feet away as a test, and it started no problem. The real test will be when I'm at work if I can do it without stepping outside. Probably next week
There was snow on the car too. But other aftermarket systems I've had would start despite the snow. I guess I'll keep messing with it and find where the sweet spot isIt might just be interference - something in the way or the direction that you are "pointing" the fob if at all. The remote start sensor(s) may be more effective from the front, though I'm not sure exactly where they're located....
.Apparently I need to press the lock button first, then press the start button. Even if the car is already locked, I need to press the lock button first. Very strangeJust got my ex-t today, salesman told me this key fob can go up to 100fts. and aftermarket is known for 2000fts. (if you can lock the door, you should be able to start engine)
It worked for me when I tested it from the 3rd floor (car was two lanes away, straight in front of my balcony)
Did you press "lock" before "engine start"? and hold it long enough?
Unlike my older remote, I feel this one need a longer press.
This may be another mitigation to prevent the "accidental start" safety hazard that's been topic of another thread.Very strange
I got a leather zip case to keep my smart key in just to make sure this kind of thing never happensThis may be another mitigation to prevent the "accidental start" safety hazard that's been topic of another thread.

The two times I've driven the car that it's been cold since I got it, I felt it was cold in the center console even though the car was warm, and I swear I felt a little breeze on my fingers. Still wondering if anyone else has noticed thisI'm curious about this breeze you mentioned though...
