Remote Start only works from close to vehicle


Recommended Posts

Having a hard time getting the remote start to work from more then a hundred feet away. Only had the vehicle for two weeks so I am going to buy new batteries and see if that may be the problem ?

I have no issues with the distance, one poster here says it works in a parking garage at her work from 15 floors above the garage. There are reports in this forum of it working to 300 + feet.

I've had mine working at a distance of 200 - 250 ft. Never tried it from further away. I imagine success would depend a lot on possible electronic interference in the area.

 

Did recently discover the hard way that remote start will not work if your hood isn't fully closed. Horn will sound and hazard lights flash instead, maybe that's in the manual somewhere. I find it interesting that my MKX will tell me which of the 4 doors or hatch is open but it doesn't care if the hood isn't closed...
