Can't figure out auto start

A friend of mine bought a 2015 used. The original owner installed an auto start. When he picked up the truck the guy showed him how to start the truck with the remote. Since that day he has been unable to start the truck from the remote.

Any ideas? I don't know what brand of auto start it is. The remote is a factory remote.

Thanks,
Mike

 

Press the lock button three times and hold it down for 3-4 seconds on the third press it should start. That’s how my 16 factory remote works.

 

I'll have him try that. Thanks

 

Yup no problem

 

Cool

 

Problem solved! Thanks @MakMurph

 

Bwahahaha! That’s evil.

Reminds me of the time I watched a welder get people to yell loudly at his miller diesel welder to shut it down. He had the remote hidden in his pocket the whole time.

 

Yep that's how my factory remote starter works, too.... Tell him the range isn't very far and, with mine if I back the truck into the driveway the stupid thing won't work. (But my battery may be weak, too...I need to pick up a new one)

 

Thought about it but I don’t post enough

 

I may not be the smartest guy in the world but I will have seen that BS a mile away. Hahaha.....

 

Back in the early 80's, in the Air Force, we loved messing with newbies....I sent a greenhorn radio technician around the squadron looking for a tube to fix a radio, a Fallopian tube...he walked around asking everybody!! (One of many jokes we played)
