I'm glad you filmed yourself being frustrated instead of my bother-in-law. He would have blown up the car and been thrown off UA-cam within moments of starting the process!
After driving twenty plus year old cars I finally bought a brand new one. A 2023 Subaru Forester basic. When I brought it home and studied it I realize how fragile it is. To me it looks fragile. To protect the engine I decided to buy a remote starter. Since the car is new I went to the dealership and bought a OEM starter remote kit for an arm and a leg. The installation wasn't bad. I used the dealership print out instructions and it went together. The final testing instructions worked up until I tried to start it with the remote. I would get four beeps and the lights would go on but the car would not start. 4 beeps is a default setting according to instructions whatever that is. Okay I'm dumb. I'm taking it to the dealership next week. I wonder how much it's going to cost. Another arm and a leg? I'm not rich I'm retired.
You may have to buy the program for that particular action, like with Scan Tool's you buy the Scan Tool then hire a program for X amount a year or something, all the best to you and your loved ones
Thank you for showing us that third party scanners can't really program the OEM remote start. I admire your patience and cool while trying different options. I hope the seller was able to make you whole with a refund or something.

I take out my frustrations by going for long runs with awesome scenery 👌
No doubt if you if rewired the Baja, that remote start is a walk on the park. Thanks for sharing
You are old school if you recall me doing that to get remote start on the baja. Have you been subscribed since 2011? That was definitely a task.
Good luck

It needs to be programmed. I used an autel tpms android computer to do that.
@@SeanFillner I took it to the Subaru dealership today. They programmed it for $180.00.

No, not at all, that is why I bought this unit because it advertised compatibility and the opposite was true

The second autel unit I got was able to program it. Should be in the playlist.
I have the dealer tools to do this but my Hitachi adapter just bricked it's firmware.
That does not sound fun!
