Remote Start Doesn't work

[VWAtlasDave]

I've had my Atlas SEL Premium since August. Now that the weather is cold, I would like to use the remote start. I have followed the directions and pushed the button on the remote twice, as indicated. Have done this several times, alternating patterns of fash pushes, slow pushes, delayed pushes. Nothing works. Anyone else having issues with remote start?

Did you push the lock button first? So push the lock botton then push the start button twice

Yes make sure the vehicle is locked before you try the remote start.

The above posts are correct. You have to verify that the vehicle is locked before the remote start will work. Good luck!

Mine doesn't work unless I'm within a few feet of the vehicle. It's very frustrating. My dealer is now telling me that its an issue with the Model and there is no fix available at this time.
