remote start works once after programing

if I understand you correctly, you have set ready mode, come out to remote start it, it starts, you get in car and turn ignition on and press brake, at this point everything is fine, you turn the car off open the door and then shut it, then you try and remote start it again and it doesn't start?

is this right?

The issue is you need to set ready mode each and everytime you are getting out of the car to be able to remote start the car in the future

read the bottom of my last post

you need to set ready mode each and everytime you want to remote start the car, that is the way it is, it is for safety

Yes it is because it is a manual transmission.  When you put the remote start in ready mode the unit thinks that you are outside of your car with the doors closed and the engine running.  Then you lock the car and it assumes that nobody is in the car.  This is the only state that the remote start should be ready.  If a door is opened, or the brake pedal pressed, or the handbrake taken off the remote start leaves the ready state.

Imagine if you set up the remote start and leave the car.  Then someone opens the door and puts the car in gear.  If the remote start didn't leave the ready state the car would move when you remote start it possibly causing damage or injury or worse.

Hope this helps.
