    Hi all. I'm having trouble with the dash slot. The car will start if the key is just in my pocket, but when I go to put the key fob in the slot, the car will not start. Normally this isn't a problem for me because I never take the key out of my pocket, but when I went to try and get a remote starter installed, they said the dash slot needs to work correctly in order for them to install the starter. Has anyone ever had a similar problem?

    Do you have another key to try?

    You might have a replacement key that wasn't programmed for slot operation
