2020 kia optima, oem fob disabled after 3x lock. After starting the fob stops working

Question

After I use the oem fob to start the car, the fob stops working. I cannot unlock or lock, til I hit the brake pedal to turn the rs off. Then I can use the fob again. 2020 kia optima key to start with t-harness. Believe it's in the firmware some option I dont have turned on or ??

Answer 1

That is normal operation of the unit. 

 

Same goes if you were to just start the car normally, the oem remote would stop functioning. 

 

I would sugget using an RF kit. https: lhttps://fortin.ca/en/technology/rf_kits.html

You have 2 options on these type of vehicles:

 

1- pop the cover off the handle and put the key in the door to unlock it.

 

2- RF kit for door lock control once remote started.
