not sure which ones ill end up with...lol

 

If it starts with the key but crank no start with the fob, that’s not normal. But I don’t think that’s what you’re asking. You can’t start it over and over with the remote. Only 2 or 3 times, didn’t remember which. After that, the tails will flash but it won’t even crank. If start and stop it with the key it will let you remote start again. Or maybe wait; how long may be in the manual. Anyway, it sounds like that’s what you’re seeing, and it’s normal and intentional, to protect the car from operator stubbornness, I suppose. It may be the same logic in the program that only lets you re-remote start once or twice.

You don’t need to hold the button down until it starts. Just a couple seconds initiates the start sequence, even if you let go a split second before it begins to crank. Definitely let go once it starts to crank. Follow the instructions in the owners manual.

Also, don’t remember if this was already mentioned but certain OBD codes will disable remote start. If the tails flash but it won’t try to start, check for codes.
