Mine is a 2017 Giulia 2.0 200CV gasoline with automatic transmission.

1) get a good key (mine comes from here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274605844146 )
2) change the 108 byte of the Proxy setting from 06 to 07 and align the proxy
3) go to an Alfa Romeo dealer or an authorized garage and let them program your new key into the car (I paid 20€, you need to bring with you all your keys, other than the new one) so that the car recognize it as valid.

Done.
Note: the points 2 and 3 can also be done in the reverse order too.

Here the extract from the USA manual about this function:

Remote Starting System:
This system uses the key fob to start the engine conveniently from outside the vehicle while still maintaining security.
The system has a range of at least 300 feet (91 meters)
The remote starting system also activates the climate control (if equipped), the heated seats (if equipped), and the heated steering wheel (if equipped), depending on temperatures outside and inside of the vehicle.

Note:
The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic transmission in order to include remote start.
Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may reduce this range.

How to use Remote Start:
All of the following conditions must be met before the engine will remote start:
-Gear selector in PARK (P).
-Doors closed.
-Hood closed.
-Trunk closed.
-Hazard switch off.
-Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not pressed).
-Battery at an acceptable charge level.
-PANIC button not pushed.
-System not disabled from previous remote start event.
-Vehicle alarm system indicator flashing.
-Ignition in the OFF mode (if equipped with keyless ignition system).
-Fuel level meets minimum requirement.

Remote Start Comfort Systems — If Equipped:
When Remote Start is activated, the heated steering wheel and driver heated seat features will automatically turn on in cold weather. These features will stay on through the duration of remote start also until the ignition is cycled to the ON/RUN mode. Remote Start

Windshield Wiper De–Icer Activation — If Equipped:
When remote start is active and the outside ambient temperature is less than 39°F (4°C), the Windshield Wiper De-Icer will be enabled. Exiting remote start will resume previous operation, except if the Windshield Wiper De-Icer is active. The Windshield Wiper De-Icer timer and operation will continue.

I am planning to do this on two cars, a 2019 Stelvio 280HP and a 2021 Giulia Q.

Thank you for the three step process described. May I ask, if I understood well:
-Step 1 and Step 2 can be done with MultiEcuScan?
- Step 3 cannot be done with MES?

Thank you!
Peter
