First question...Is the CEL lit up when you drive the car? If so there is a engine fault (and a code(s) that then disables remote start from operating. That problem must be taken care of FIRST. Then also on the Driver Information Center panel scroll thru the MENU pages till you see the REMOTE START and that it is ENABLED.
Good Luck!

 

CEL is not light up (unless it has a bad bulb) and it is enabled in the DIC. The car was in an accident during it's life so my guess is that they put the wrong latch in it to save some money. I'll pull the coffee reader out on Impreza (it's dead, G6 is replacing it) and double check for a code.

Guess it's still the sensor wasn't bypassed when they fixed the accident damage.

 

Just double checked, no CELs stored. Remote start was off on the DIC when I bought it, but I turned it on right away.

 

Well, that takes care of the 2 most common remote start problems that many new owners fail to check. We've got freezing rain and snow here right now to go out in my driveway and look to see where the hood switch is located for you, should be the same with my 08 to your 07.
You also are pressing the DOOR LOCK button BEFORE the remote start button, I hope as that is required for RS operation.

Key to run position(not crank) is the bulb check, if CEL comes on then ,,,the bulb is OK and goes out on startup.

 

Yep, pressing the door lock then the RS button (just like my dad's) truck.

I can live without it for now. Just wish the factory speakers weren't so expensive as its missing the right rear and finding a 2 ohm speaker cheaper is impossible.

 

Found a single 3 conductor work loose, it had a pink, a purple and a black wire. Based on location and length, I'm guessing it's the right one but if rather be sure

 

If the value is the same, I just need a 2.3kohm resistance. Or if I way to be fancy, use a SPDT pin switch to have the right value for open and closed.

Hood Latch Switch Bypass

I made an account just to post the fix for this, couldn't find it anywhere.... Your mileage may vary but this is what worked for me. After having my alarm go off continuously with the hood ajar message I unplugged the hood latch sensor to fix the issue but in doing so I lost my factory remote sta...

Got a hood latch on the way. Safest way to make sure it works, although also the most expensive.

 

YUP, just got back from a repair visit myself for my TPMS problem and found it is incorporated in the hood latch assy.////Darned GM way of doing things now!

 

Hell, I'm still trying to figure out if my G6 has TPMS. I'm glad my dad works for a GM parts wholesaler (in a round about way a GM dealership). I got the latch for his price. Otherwise I'd be using a PIN switch to make it work in the two different resistances it needs.

 

I still like my MOPARS!...This was the WIFE'S choosing to get this G6....LOL

 

I get a discount on those parts too, along with Honda, Toyota, Ford and a couple others I'm forgetting

 

Finally got the latch replaced. I now have working remote start. Just have to run to the parts store and get some clips for the trim piece that goes from the radiator support and the front fascia.

Of course, I did it in 5°F weather.

 

Join the club...Just got done snowblowing out our driveway(did it Sunday morning too) and 2 neighbors, was 3*f when I started this morning with an hours break between each driveway to warm up again. Hit a high of 20*f as i finished...Gotta LOVE winter in the Northeast! I'll probably soon come down with pneumonia tomorrow!
