I have a 2020 optima and have to used the app to remote start, which is a joke. Has anyone successfully used an after market or OEM remote start with key fob. I will NOT be paying for the app after the trial is over. TIA
I put one of these in my wife’s 14 sorento. No splicing. Plug and play. Tech support amazing. I got the app module add on. First year free then 39 a year.I have a 2020 optima and have to used the app to remote start, which is a joke. Has anyone successfully used an after market or OEM remote start with key fob.

I have one in my 14 optima. The wiring is a bit involved but can be done. Just need to take your time and double check. But after installing the one from 12 volt solutions I might be switching over. The app module is worth it for me and it’s sooo easy to install.The canbus module from k5 optima store has a few nice features with it.
I presume that the above feature requires that you have the remote fob on you; I'm guessing that the above feature is useful and applicable only to those models in which the key is completely separate from the remote fob--i.e., on later-gen models the key is only meant to be used in cases where the remote fob is not working for whatever reason. Admittedly I don't know exactly how the canbus module is able to unlock the door without a key if indeed it can do so without the presence of the remote fob, hence why I ask.The ability to unlock the car via the button on the door without the key. Incase of losing them or accidently locking the keys in etc.
Nope. No key required at all. Physical or otherwise. The module is wired in with the door switch. So via a few times holds and presses of the button on the door. Then entering the code (user settings) it will unlock the car.I presume that the above feature requires that you have the remote fob on you; I'm guessing that the above feature is useful and applicable only to those models in which the key is completely separate from the remote fob--i.e., on later-gen models the key is only meant to be used in cases where the remote fob is not working for whatever reason.

Drop your keys in the ocean, get your purse/bag stolen at the zoo or amusement park. It's an amazing back up plan.Ah I see; yeah that would be a good backup/failsafe if for whatever reason you don't have your keyfob on you.
I agree, really comes in handy at times!Drop your keys in the ocean, get your purse/bag stolen at the zoo or amusement park. It's an amazing back up plan.
