When my car is remote started, after I get in the car, all I have to do is press my foot on the brake and press the start button - no PIN/password entry required. After I do that, the car goes into "normal start mode" where the radio will turn on and the steering wheel will move into the driving position. I put the car in gear, like normal, and just drive off.

Actually, I should have been more clear. I was referring to remote start with the phone app. If you use the phone app to remote start the vehicle you can't just hop in, put your foot on the break, put it in gear and drive off. You can with the key fob because you have to be within the detection distance of the car in order to even use the remote start on the key fob.
I think the OP is having a different issue which I'm not clearly understanding.
