The remote on my 2017 Touring works from at least 30 feet away. The problem I have is when I get in the car the system (nav) display isn't on. When I press the start button it shuts the engine off and I have to restart, Is this normal? I thought I'd just get in and be able to drive.

If you look at your dash it has a message that states to put you foot on the brake and push start to keep it running. Otherwise it will shut off.

I'm going to bump this thread on the Remote Start Topic -

On our new 17 Touring, unless our V has a problem, or unless I'm not doing something right, I'm apparently not talented enough to press the start button and the brake "simultaneously" as the manual states to keep the engine running, I always kill it in the "simultaneously" process. The "simultaneously” thing is awkward, seems there s/b a better way?

On the topic of start button to acc mode, on mode, & off mode. I press start w/o brake to go to acc mode, then to turn V off I have to press start button again to on mode. Then, pressing a 3rd time turns the V off. The 2nd press turns on all the V's electrical power as if starting. Seems there s/b a better way to go from acc mode to off w/o first turning on all the V's power - is this the only way to turn V off from acc mode?

Update = remote started V engine stays running by first pushing down on the brake, then press the start button! Wait let me try 1 more time...1 moment, yes push down on brake, then 1 sec later push on the start button & off you go!!

Ill simply live with the acc mode > on mode > off mode.
 
only 1 10 minute cycle

I have a 2017 CRV touring. Perhaps someone can assist with this issue. I live in a very cold climate and activate the remote start to defrost the ice off the windshield. It starts and runs for the 10 minutes and shuts off. I cannot repeat this process unless I go out and manually start it first. Is this normal after the first cycle is completed? Sometimes 10 minutes isn't enough to clear the windshield. Thanks
 
on page 452 of the owners manual there is information regarding a 10 minute extension- its a bit ambiguious but it may be that the extension needs to be requested before the first remote start sequence has completed...
 
Yes, the time extension must be added before the first 10 minute cycle completes. It will be 10 minutes from the time of the additional button push. Perhaps someone could do this test for my issue. Do a remote start and let it complete and shut off. Wait a few minutes and try the do another remote start. Mine won't. Again mine is a 2017 and I'm not sure if all crvs are the same or not. Thanks

You have to do it again before the end of 10 minutes to extend it an additional ten
So at minute 9 you’d bump it to 19
 
Mine will restart with the fob for an additional 10 minutes, even if I was not quick enough to go back to the window and it shut off after the first 10. But it won't run more than 20 minutes (2 remote starts).
 
2018 CRV....used the auto start yesterday as it was sitting in the sun a long time while at Doc,s.....I had the air on and about 3rd speed on the fan....walked to car and nothing...SUV was running ,but no fan or air on?.....does this system only work in the colder weather.. thanks for any info...

The system is designed to warm/cool the interior of your CR-V to 72 degrees (+/-). If you entered your vehicle and it was HOT then you have an issue, however if you entered and the interior was comfortable it's likely the interior temperature was within preprogrammed parameters.

Best!

thank you for the reply..it was very hot as we are in a heat alert for 2 days now..I just got into it long enough to push start button and air came on,,,,rolled down couple windows to get heat out and got out for a few minutes......I will take it out of garage and park it in drivway till this afternoon and then try the autostart again...its hot humid and sunny today so it will be a good test.....Thanks RockyMtnCRV

ADDED TO POST...went out this afternoon and remote started it.....opened door and fan was on high ,blowing cool air....you were right RockyMtnCRV......what a great forum
 
I have two older Accords with dealer-installed remote starts. Those have a terrific user interface with feedback that shows the 10 and 20 minute duration on the display.You hit them back to back to get 20 minutes. I now have a 2018 CRV and a 2019 Pilot, both with factory remote starts. There is no feedback on the remote which stinks; the feedback is only the lights. It does reach a very long way, perhaps 75 to 100 yards to the back of our parking lot at work. I have the same issue. I'm sure this is supposed to work just like the dealer-installed units. We should be able to repeat the sequence at one time and have the car run for 20 minutes. I'm taking mine to the dealer this week. Here in Rochester NY, 10 minutes doesn't get the temperature gauge off the pin. Next I need tot test the Pilot.

I hesitate to tell you this but 20 minutes of idling is also not likely to warm your CR-V in cold weather. If interested please read the some of the oil dilution threads here - the issue of oil dilution is tied to slow warm up. The Pilot in contrast is likely to heat ok.

You can test this on your CR-V by manually starting, setting the HVAC to Auto, temp to 72 (essentially what remote starts does) and waiting 20 minutes in cold weather.
