Remote Start Followed by Head Unit Issues
New Defender 110 owner here and appreciate all of the insights I've been able to uncover so far here, thank you everyone.
One item I haven't exactly located (although some items that touch around it) is that when we remote start the car (climate), there is an odd thing we've encountered a few times, which is.... After remote starting the car, if we go out to get in and drive someplace, the car seems to be in a different "mode" of sorts. The touch screen often defaults to a very limited view, the main display just shows a picture of the truck - but it drives, you just can't use any of the software/services. It almost acts like it is in a sort of valet mode or something.
I can't tell if this is a combination of the issues where the FOB isn't recognized to start the vehicle, but since it is already running, its behaving as if the key isn't present or something? I don't know. But we've had to do the hard restart with the ****/power button to recover it, where even turning off/on the vehicle (getting out, leaving, coming back, etc.) didn't reset it properly.
I'm fairly convinced this is due to the remote start, but I don't know how to avoid the fallout afterward.

I haven't noticed this behavior on my D110, but there's been a few times where Pivi seems to forget to correctly boot, and restarting the car seems to help. If you keep experiencing this, attempt to do a soft reset by holding the Radio Power Button for like 30-60 seconds. All of the core systems will do a soft reset, this tends to clear and weird gremlins I'm experiencing. The only noticeable issue I had to get fixed was the factory AMP being defective, 2 weeks in the shop escalated with LR Technical, but it's back now and seems to be good. Best of luck!
