3 lock engine start
Any suggestions on getting the 3 lock push start to work ( ie clicking the lock button 3 times fast to remotely start the car)? I have only had it work twice. Enform remote works each time, but would like to have another option

Click, Click, HOLD for 3 seconds and it should start right away. If you want to increase your distance, HOLD the remote on your chin while you do the clicks. Your range will double. I am not kidding. At work I start the car from really far with the chin trick.

I'm not sure why this would need to shut off when it senses you have the key in your pocket. This is a lame feature.

The enform app has about an 80% success rate for me so far. iPhone6 on AT&T..
Curious how it works. Meaning, my phone relays through the cellular network, then it pushes down via satellite, or does it use the cell networks all the way through? If so, that would mean the car has a cell phone plan or something....?

Wow didnt know this worked!
Another thread here suggested 2 lock clicks then hold, but I can see the car doing something from the window in my office. Checked the enform remote and sure enough, says car is on.
Thanks so much!
Love this forum, learn so much.
Unlike the nissan forums, man those guys were a bunch of dicks. Nothing like arguin on a forum with another "car enthusiast" about car styling, while he's still holdin on hard to his 1987 Nissan Maxima.

So what is the range? With or without the 'chin trick' ?? That had me laughing.
When it did work, the turn signal lights would flash 5 times and then the car started. Sometimes it worked right after I held the lock button down (3rd time) and sometimes it took 5 or so seconds after I let go of the button. Weird.

I just tried it on my 2015 GS and it worked (close range), but not every time. Perhaps I wasn't doing something consistently correct.
