You can't leave an automatic in gear. That's why remote start isn't available in a manual gearbox.

My remote start used to work everytime - now it seems to time out and say 'engine issue' (or something like that) for the last couple of weeks. I could even remote start the car from my apple watch without any issues.

I have noticed I have a software update on the car which maybe connected.

In the UK - any one else had problems recently?

Yes, I made a separate thread about this, I was getting the error "Your Volvo could not be started because the engine is not working properly". This was right after it was serviced.

Volvo Customer Support asked me to uninstall and reinstall the app but it hasn't helped, in fact it has made it worse, sometimes it will pretend to start and it actually hasn't. Or it will start then switch itself off after 60 seconds. Of course the problem is intermittent so trying to demonstrate it to the dealer will be fun.

I've been using remote start every single day for the last 3 weeks in my XC40, and today was the first time ever I got the error message that my engine is not working properly.
