What’s the proper way to activate the remote start via the key fob? I can’t figure out if I’m just an idiot or if I need to maybe try re programming just the remote start part of the fob, because the lock/unlock buttons work great. I’m starting a new job on Monday which means leaving at 6:50 in the morning.

Just press the start button and hold it down until you hear the motor fire up. I have a habit of hitting the lock button first so the horn will chirp, making sure it's still in the driveway!

thank you! Will try it in the morning. If you have a check engine light will that disable it? Because of being catless, I do have P codes, but I have the CEL for those codes turned off...

Mine doesn't remote start with trouble codes present, like that pesky P0442 I get every 200+ miles.
mine will start with codes present even pending codes

i don't bother with it unless it's 110 outside and i want it COLD as hell in there. it gets to about 65F with in 5 min or so with the Industrial sized A/C

it's at 33F at the vents not too bad any colder and it will pouring out snow from the vents

You're lucky, even my '06 Pontiac would not remote start with codes present.

I was always told you press the lock button once and then hold the remote start button till it starts... mines aftermarket and still uses the factory fob... I just have to press the lock button 3 times...

I've never tried remote starting without pressing the lock button once first... may have to give that a try next time.

The truck will most definitely NOT start with an active CEL on. I have my downstream O2 sensors tuned out due to being catless as well... no CEL and remote start works fine.
