Remote Start NOT working on Day 1 of Delivery of NEW Atlas Cross Sport SEL Premium V6 4Motion....

Happy New Year VW Atlas Owners!!!
Just got home from the Dealership and I tried to use the Remote Start. Guess what, it does not work.
I made sure the vehicle is locked, no Codes, full of fuel, oil level ok, in park and the remote start still does not work.
I also noted that although the engine is off, I hear alot of little motors going on and off in the engine compartment.
I have schedule service on Monday January 4th, 2021 with my Brand new Atlas, not very happy about that.
Can anyone offer suggestions, so that I can fix it mysel?
I feel like I am driving a computer and not a car?
All the best to my Atlas Brothers and Sisters...

What was your result? I was going to mention that I had the same problem before the recall procedures were performed.

The Dealership had to remove the rear seat, open up the fuel tank, replace the sensor(float) which was defective. This procedure was required and now the remote start works with the key fob and also the VW Car Net application from anyvewhere!!
The car is now 100%.
Never had this problem with a car before, but never had so much Technology.
It really is a computer on wheels!!!

Cheers,
