Remote Start six beeps
2014 GT Convertible, just got it - the RMST Series 100 is giving six beeps when pressed, power comes on, but engine doesn't turn over.
Online sources say it's in SERVICE/VALET mode - guessing I just need to authenticate the remotes?
Asking just in case there's a quick other thing I may have overlooked.

I can't figure out how to take it out of Valet mode yet, will call 1-800-FORD KEY when I get home. It'd be nice to have it working, but if it doesn't... FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, right? I keep it in the garage and pretty much never need to use this. I far preferred the factory setup that didn't stop the engine when I opened the door and all I had to do was put the key in and turn to ON. This feels like a cheesy after-market setup, and I'd like it working - or gone.

Caught a blurb on one of those websites with all the questionable "just one amazing trick to lose 50 lbs in a week" links in the sidebars that said...
I'll add that to my list of things to try when I'm home tonight, prepping and starting the smoker for Thanksgiving. LLLLLLOTS of idle time on that job LOL...
Remote Start System
Service/Valet Mode:
In Service/Valet mode, the remote start function is temporarily disabled to prevent the system from unexpectedly starting the engine while being serviced.
To engage the Service/Valet mode, turn the ignition key to the ON or RUN position, hold the brake pedal in, and press the button on the PowerCode remote control transmitter 3-times. The horn will honk six (6) times to indicate that the remote start system is in Service/Valet mode. The ignition key may now be turned OFF.
Todisengage the Service/Valet mode, turn the ignition key to the ON or RUN position, DO NOT hold the brake pedal in, and press the button on the PowerCode remote control transmitter 3-times. The horn will honk six (6) times to indicate that the remote start system has exited Service/Valet mode. The ignition key may now be turned OFF.
* "Press & Hold" refers to pushing the transmitter button for more than one second.
** See your dealer for details on available installation features and options.

Good luck, hopefully the deprogram steps take it out of valet mode.
As far as checking to see if you have a "my key" programmed - that is separate from your remote start issue by the way --- go the screens in the center stack and there is one that will tell you how many admin and "my keys" are programmed. If there is a my key programmed you can deprogram that as well. It's been awhile since I had my 2013 so I don't remember how to access that now.
