Remote starter for my Honda CRV works everywhere except at my apartment?
My CRV was bought new in summer 2016 and I had a remote starter installed. Last winter, at my old apartment and everywhere I went, the remote start works perfectly. This winter, it works great from my office (2 story brick building with my car parked almost a football field away from me) and almost everywhere I go… EXCEPT at my apartment (and the Walgreens right across the street). My boyfriend drives a Chevy Equinox (2011) and his remote start works perfectly at our apartment. I will even stand a foot away from the driver's door of my CRV and it still won't work! Honda has been NO help to me and just keeps saying that there must be some signal messing with it… But that doesn't make sense why my boyfriend's car works (he parks right next to me). I paid almost $1,000 for this feature and I'm frustrated it won't work when I start my car in the morning (when the car is at it's coldest). I've even tried parking my car in several different spots and nothing works. Has anyone else had this issue or have any idea how to fix it?
It sounds like something has a lot stronger signal than what you do in your remote, AND its so close to what your signal is, that its knocking yours out. I bet your boyfriends is a completely different signal, in terms of frequency and thats why his isn't affected.
Do you have a gate at your apts. Or have Wi-Fi? That could be the problem. OR do you have a cell tower close by?
I would go to Honda and ask them if they could reprogram yours to a different frequency… See if that works.
Very strange… Maybe they can set it to work on a different frequency… Id video it… Put it on youtube and then demand they fix it… Try unplugging your router first
You have two different remote starters, find out the frequency they each use and see what else is on that frequency and then scour your neighborhood to see how far away it will work, find the center point and start looking for something from the list of things on the same frequency band
Have you tried replacing the battery in the remote?

- I have searched EVERYWHERE that I can think of with no luck 1990 Honda CRX base or hf model manual window reg? I'm not sure if I can fix the one I have. I bought the car new and it is the original regulator. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
- I have a Honda GSV 190 mower engine with a broken starter rope and stud stuck in starter that I can't remove. Any ideas would be great When removing the nuts holding the recoil starter in place the nut on the front of the starter is stuck. When I try to remove it the whole stud come out of the engine. Leaving the engine cover stuck to the starter preventing me from replacing the rope. I have tried everything I can think of to remove it with no luck. Heres what it looks like. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/bolt-stud-h425mm-p-554740.html
- After replacing our car battery, our remote starter just turns and turns without actually starting the car? My wife has a 2010 Honda Fit and we just had to replace the battery. We got a remote starter installed from Best Buy in either 2010 or 2011. But after the recent battery replacement, the remote starter responds by just cranking and not starting. It does like three sets of cranking before stopping. I don't remember the brand of remote starter, but anyone have any insight of what I need to do?
