Autostart works only when the key is in the car

Question

I installed EVO fort4 kit in my 2012 Ford Fusion. I used my two factory keys and programed them per the instructions. The auto-start worked for about two months. Now it will only start when I have the key inside the car ( it does not need to be in the ignition)  The key works to unlock and lock the car normal. Can you tell me what I need to do to get it working again?

Answer 1

This is an odd case. Since it works while the key is in the car and NOT in the barrel, this means your remote starter is programmed and functioning correctly. Something else is happening like RF interference or batteries in the remotes are weak.
