Remote start and key?

[hahersch]

Does ANY remote start system exist that DOESNT require you to put the key in the ignition to RESTART the car after entering?

Hunh? Several remote start systems exist that do not kill the engine immediately after opening the door. The main reason to need to put the ignition key in and turn to "Run" is because of the steering wheel locks. On any modern car, if you don't put the key in the "Run" position you will not be able to freely turn the steering wheel. Also, there may be some electronic features that are not powered by just the remote start.

For what vehicle? Some of the newer GM units you don't need to restart the vehicle, just turn the key to "ON" and go. I had a factory remote system installed by the dealer on my 2006 Uplander ( did not come installed from the factory, yet was set up to accept a dealer installed factory unit.) I start my unit in the morning when I need it by pushing the "LOCK" button, then hit the "Start" button and hear it start . Once it's running, I then unlock the doors to the van by hitting the "UNLOCK" button on the fob. The vehicle does not shut off when the doors are opened, and all I have to do is turn the key in the ignition to "ON" and go. One safety feature with this system is that if one of the doors is ajar, before you attempt to start the vehicle, the remote start will not operate. Is this the type of system you are talking about?
