I've noticed in order to have remote start engage I need to use the lock button of the remote twice, then press and hold (for like 4 seconds) the remote start (lock,lock, long press remote start) - in this case it works. If I try to start it without locking it right before that, it doesn't engage, no matter vehicle has been locked, or how far away am I.
Mines range isn't that bad (especially compared to my Passat, the Outlook has great remote range
). If you can lock/unlock or use the panic function, remote start should work too from the same distance.
If all remote functions require you to be closer to the vehicle, you may have a bad battery in the keyfob, manual says with battery getting weak range of remote degrades.
