I just tried this.

I work occasionally on the second floor of an industrial building with steel panels for exterior walls, which blocks essentially all cell services etc, except for walkies. I've tried my remote start from inside the building many times and it never worked, I tried even getting steadily closer to the exit doors but it never worked until you were physically standing outside the exterior walls.

Today I was deep in the building where it never worked before, put the remote to my chin, opened my mouth (not sure why because you didn't provide those instructions), and viola, chirped on and when I got to my car nice and toasty. AMAZING!!!!

I'm going to keep trying it obviously now, but if this was a one time fluke I'd be very disappointed.
