Works locked, or unlocked. And that is consistent with the Owners Manual - it says nothing about having to lock the car first.

After remote start and you shut it off by using the key fob, will it turn off the parking light that remote start turned on? will it auto lock?

You do not need to press the lock button if the car is already locked.
I use the AutoLock on exit feature, so the car is always locked when I am not in it, so I never need to press the lock button before using remote start.
Fun fact, if you remote start the car and open the trunk before you open the door, the engine will stop.

Actually, you don't have to press the lock button to remote start the car whether it is locked or not. Just press the remote start button twice.

Do you have a set of keys in the car? It won't work if any of the keys are inside the car, they must all be outside the car.

I’ve had key fob remote start issues with my 2024 Z06 Corvette and there is programming patch to address the issue. Have your Chevy dealership look up Service bulletin #24-NA-018 INTERMITTENT REMOTE VEHICLE START.

not so absolute… I just ran for six weeks while they ordered apart for my climate control with a check engine light on, it didn’t affect remote start at all. Possibly if there’s some type of engine problem that the check engine light is on for, then it may, but not all check engine lights.

Thank you! Good to know. I have experienced this issue and will look into getting that update at MacMulkin.

Including your vehicle's year and model info in your signature (or anywhere in your post) would make things a lot easier to help with, since there are some subtle functional differences between the model years.
It would increase the numbers of useful answers, and hopefully reduce the rest.
If this is a 2024 MY, then the relevant caveats for remote start are on page 13 in the downloadable Owner Manual.
