2015 Mazda 3. Have everything hooked up and programmed. The EVO ALL runs the sequence but doesn’t start the car

Question

I have everything set up and programmed on my 2015 Mazda 3 push to start but when I do the remote sequence it responds and the evo picks it up but the vehicle does not start. I have not yet installed a hood pin or valet switch but I was under the impression you didnt have to for it to work.

 

i have now tried a master reset and now when I try to do the key bypass it only flashes red after doing the on off sequence with both keys. Have I bricked my unit?

Answer 1

It's entirely possible that your issue is different than mine, but I had the same issue and it turned out that it just wouldn't work if I was trying to do a remote start while sitting in the car. If I get away from the car, it works. Give it a shot.
