Factory Remote Start not working

I just bought a used 2014 Crosstrek for my daughter . It came with two separate Factory remote start remotes , separate from the keys. Lights did not work on either remote and I swapped out the batteries and now it flashes green around the button, but nothing happens when you double press it. I made sure it was not in service mode and I have scoured everywhere online . Has anyone else run into this or have any ideas?

There are two types of remote start systems. Older, and still available, are dealer installed factory authorized remote start with two key fobs. This is most likely the one pubsafetman has. This one has a limited range (450 feet?). The app remote start is the second one requiring a subscription to MySubaru. This app can remote start from anywhere as long as phone and vehicle are in cell tower range.
