So I just got my 5901 installed today, and I love it. But there's some weirdness I just can't figure out! This is in a 2008 Subaru Impreza STI.
Everything works fine except the remote start, which ALMOST works. I find that it starts the car with no issue when the car is in neutral. However, it's using it to remove the key from the ignition and leave the car running which is causing a bit of grief.
Here's what I mean:
I come to a stop at my parking space, put the car in neutral (handbrake up of course!). I hit the remote start button on the remote. I then remove the key, open the door, get out, close the door. All doors are closed at this point with the engine running. Then, if I turn off the engine with the remote (BEFORE locking the doors,) and THEN lock the doors, the car beeps an extra time and my remote tells me a door is still open. This happens every single time. However, if I lock the doors BEFORE turning the engine off with the remote, I don't get the beep, but the doors try to lock themselves again after the engine turns off. That seems really weird to me. I keep thinking the doors are unlocking themselves, but I checked and it's the locks trying to re-engage after they were already locked.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
