Default Remote start with app and I can't unlock doors

Haven't found anything via searches. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Car starts as expected, but I can't unlock the doors with the fob in my pocket OR by pressing the unlock button. I had to kill the remote start via the app and only then could I open the door. Merry Christmas!!

1st — Whose Remote start (brand) are you using?

2nd — What year & model car are you discussing?

IF you are using a Compustar / Drone, older revisions would not allow you to unlock the car, when remote started, with just touching the doors. I’m not sure if using the fob key was supported or not.

We need details to help you!

Sorry — That I cannot help you with. 3rd party … maybe but Audi’s app is a black hole for me.

Best of Luck!

Sounds like it comes with the car, so isn't the dealership the place to ask?
