Remote start
Good morning Peeps. well I picked up my new (used) 2022 HTC yesterday and traded my 2021 coupe in and all I can say is WOW. I can not believe how much quieter this car is on the inside vs coupe and the ride seems to be so much better...... I get the sound part but I dont get the ride part. It is the EXACT same spec as my 21 but my 21 was a 2lt and the HTC is a 3lt. All of my settings are set to the same now but the ride is like riding in my wife's Lexus and Im not complaining, im just in shock..... I thought for a minute I had purchased a 6cyl vet 😂😂😂😂 it was so quiet inside the car. I am absolutely in love with it but I do have one issue and hoping someone can help me with this......
My remote control will not start the car like I am used too. can someone explain why this is? I checked all of the settings and everything seems to be right but I always like to start my car and let it "wake Up" before I get in it and drive. there has to be something I am overlooking here and any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks and much love to all of you.

My car was doing the same thing. Took her to the dealership and the service manager opened all the doors, the frunk and the trunk and closed them. She started right up. Turns out my wife took a ride with her sister and her sister didn't want to slam the door shut.

2LT/3LT should make no difference in ride if both cars are the same package (Z51/mag). Possibly you have different seats or tires.
Remote start: "The vehicle can not be driven during a remote start. To drive the vehicle, press the brake pedal, then press ENGINE START/STOP, with the remote key in the vehicle." at least that's what my 2021 manual says.

Great that it turned out to be an easy, and no cost fix.

HTC is 100 lbs heavier but when I carry a 100 lb trunk load or a 100 lb passenger I don't feel the "ride is unbelievable different". I have driven the HTC Z51 and the coupe Stingray (both with mag) back to back and found no difference in ride. The HTC had comp seats and that were tighter but not really a ride difference. He indicates same tires same seats why a noticeable difference? Tire pressure? Just curious.

I figured out the ride difference. the previous owner ordered the Michelin AS tires and not the sport tires. I used to own a tire store and I know about tires and that has to be the reason here.
thanks

Since Z51 came with 4S and not A/S did you also get the original set of tires?
