Very long story short, I recently tried the "remote start" function of 2017 CRV for the first time. I am now sharing this car with my wife and I wanted to check out all the options.
After starting the car and shutting it off using the FOB, I came back out to the car a couple hours later and the battery was down to a little over 5 volts. No lights, no start, nothing. I jumped the car with my emergency start power unit and drove around the neighborhood for a while to charge the battery. When I opened the hood I noticed the battery terminal were very hot which seemed to indicate an ongoing draw.
A couple hours later I again checked the voltage with my multi-meter and detected another drop in voltage. I again used the FOB to start and stop the engine to see if this would stop the current draw. It seemed to work but I also read some online information describing how to "shut off" the remote start function using the vehicle settings, vehicle options, keyless options. I turned off the remote start function and have watched the car for a couple days and so far the battery has not drained again.
I searched high and low for any information online related to this issue. Nothing came up. So I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this issue?
