Remote Engine Starter Problem in Canada

[Rocky]

hey guys! anyone ele here have this kind of problem???

I know there was talk about this in other threads.
But I would like to solicit info from those in my area.
<others' info are still though>

A week after i got my car, i sent it back b'coz the RES isn't functioning properly. They immediately replaced the unit.

When I got it back after service, and the ambient temperature was around -20 C, the remote starter still shuts off after 3~5 secs. Then I noticed that when the temperature was around -10 C, it was working well. No shutoffs after 5 secs. However, last weekend, 3~4 March, it shuts off again after 3~5 secs.! And the temperature last weekend was above freezing ( around 5~10 C ).

I really couldn't tell now if it's really a function of the ambient temperature. But the remote starter's design must be irregardless of the ambient temperature or else it would not serve its purpose.

It still shuts off now! I'm in Calgary.
The temp now is still above freezing.

I'm not in your area but may have similar weather as I'm in Alaska. I haven't noticed any link between the temp and my remote start's function. The only time it doesn't work as expected is when I've messed up and not locked the doors. But that doesn't sound like what is happening to you with the quick shut off. Good luck.

Me instead I have another problem with the remote starter in my new CX7 GT. I had the dealer install it because it should be better?. Now every time that I try to start it (remote), the alarm starts. I've tried pressing one time and two times and 2 times holding the button 2 sec. The alarm always start. I do not know if it has something to do with the key less sistem or it is just a defective part.

2007 GT, I had 3 problems with it but all minor. make sure to verify them before getting the truck out of the lot.
1-) remote starter.
2-) the dash lights do not start at night, (minor calibration but has to be done by them), (just put a book on top of the sensor on top of the dash and put your lights in automatic). when you turn the key on the lights should go on.
3-) auto door locks.(if you have an smart key, they have to program the computer to close the doors when you walk away from the car. (again minor calibration.

Have a nice and safe ride. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do now.
