Did you lock your doors remotely before you tried to start it remotely? It's been awhile since I've started mine with the remote, but I seem to recall that you have to have doors locked and you have to hold that start button down for a couple of seconds.

Works for me as follows, A8.

Get out of car.
Push lock button twice, horn beeps.
Push and hold remote start.
Car starts.

Other than the locking, make sure no doors or hoods are ajar, that sort of thing.

That's the step I have to make sure I do. I have a bad habit of not holding it down.

If you have a Vert make sure the trunk is closed (open and close to make sure) and also the trunk partition is in place.

Have you started it before? It will only remote start two times in a row.

Mine remote starts just fine with the trunk open. It doesn't matter about the partition. It won't remote start with the hood open, though.

My wireless outdoor thermometer interfered with my remote start. Go figure!
