Multitask Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Yesterday and today, I went to Remote Start my car, and the app ran but the button to do it wouldn't respond... yes, I know to hold it but it just sits there, even after touching and holding it for over 5 seconds.... I'm thinking I might want to re set it up? Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a problem with the app, that is all I can think of at the moment. Let us know how you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 It was locked... I pressed the 3 brs, saw it lock when I left it. So I could 'remote lock' it and then see if it remote starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramf411 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I'm assuming you're performing the correct procedure to remote start using the Lincoln App. Have you tried clearing the data/cache, log-in, then try again? Otherwise, you might have to do a master reset of the unit itself. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKZMark Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Once or twice I've had to uninstall/reinstall the app to get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Yea... looks like I'll have to do that... it didn't work again last night.... Gives me a good chance to put my real email address in it.... I misspelled it when I set it up. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17MKZ3.0TT Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 For yucks & giggles, have you tried it via the FOB? Does that function have to be enabled in the vehicle via a steering wheel input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 THe FOB works just fine, as long as I'm close to the car... the app should work anywhere in the world (signal provided of course) and I've check my signal, I can remote Lock the car, just not remote start it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17MKZ3.0TT Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 K, just figured it was an easy way to see if the car was even listening ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Just saying, The web traffic has been insane high since this coronavirus work at home/stayin started.... maybe that is affecting the data traffic as well.

MKZMark Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The car has to have a good cellular signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Yea... It worked fine in the same parking spot for 2 weeks, then nothing.... I'll see about moving it as there are spaces for 200 cars and now there are 3 cars when I get back to it. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
