Drive car with remote start?

SailinAway · 06-21-2022, 06:13 AM

My ignition lock, installed one month ago, broke. I can start the car remotely. Is it possible to drive the car once it's started? I'm guessing no, because I think after a remote start you have to insert the key, turn the engine off, and restart it with the key, is that correct? When it's running after a remote start, I can't put it in gear, so I assume the key has to be turned to "run" before you can put it in gear.

Dang. I was all packed and leaving on a trip.
