Remote start minimum distance

Can you start the car from the back seat area using remote start ?
I was just thinking if I was on the road traveling I could put the rear seats down and sleep back there and if it gets cold hit the remote start button to kick the heater on.
I tried it but it didn't work but then again I sometimes can't get remote start to work from the proper distance because I'm still learning how everything works.
It may work maybe I was doing something wrong.
Possible ?

Possible? NO. Remote start is disabled if a key fob in inside the vehicle..

I tried to remote start it with the keyfob all the way to the back 1 inch from rear window and no go.
I'm trying to think how I can trick it to think the keyfob is outside the vehicle

I think just get two yard sticks and push the brake and start button like that.

Good idea , I can reach the switch good enough but yeah using a yard stick to push the brake pedal is a great idea .
