You push the remote twice to start GMs, but you also need the remote start module/piece to start the car. It connects from the battery to the starter and disables the kill switch.
That is useful information :) my own keyfobs are worn really bad and i need to replace the faces on them, i asked my volvo dealer and it would cost about $20 ish to replace both of the faces so not so bad, luckily it is only the face so i don't need the fobs themselves
You can also do this with Chrysler products if you have 2 key fobs..its simple most people dont know it...We have done this,people should look into their brand of car and see if they can do it before they lose their keys and have to spend $500 at the dealer after tow and new key! Gotta help people out from being robbed at the dealer!
Good info for replacing the key. I used a small nail to knock the pin out because the tiny drill bits kept breaking. I have the push button start so my programming was different than the way you showed.
Props to you randy you could’ve just got all the remote start stuff delt with at the dealer then made this video having it working and lying to all of us and making you look correct. But no you did the good thing and didn’t lie and admitted that you were wrong ❤
Appreciate the info Randy 👍. I need a new remote for my R.T dodge Nitro but it doesn't fold up IDK 🤔. Salute Randy🙆 😎.Sorry about the remote start not working out 🫡
Randy I have a Impala like yours and the sequence that you used was not the proper buttons to push for the remote start. You hit the bottom button first like you did but then you hit the lock button next and it will start. Thanks Randy have a good day
Sometimes check engine light will prevent the starter, and the light blinks as you try to start. Sometimes erasing codes fixes this, but sometimes it only starts once and then trips code and no rs again . This doesn’t activate remote start to all cars, I’ve had several without remote start button and new key with RS button does not start the car because not equipped
I do know on a lot of chevys if the check engine light is on it won’t let them remote start so might try and clear the codes and then see worth a shot anyway
Interesting to know how to do this. My car started saying it didn't recognize the key fob so I bought new batteries. If my next car does that I will know what to do. 😁
Oh I apologize Randy I get what you’re doing. I wish I could do that. My blank is the second key and I can’t just swap the key out lol. But I know now. Thank you very much.
the OEM kit comes with a Code that need to added to the VIN by the dealer ... and beside that the Remote start will not work bc your Check engine light is ON
Probably just need to bite the bullet and let the dealer install the system if you really want it. That key trick is impressive. They sell replacements for Dodge vehicles as well with the square end.
if i were to buy a key fob for 15 dollars i would want it to have the chevorlet logo on it but if you want the remote start to work i believe you need to install a remote starter i forgot where but that i believe is something you need
Can't understand why people want remote start. Where I live so many people get fined for starting there car when standing over 3 feet away. They get them under the rule where you can't leave your vehicle running unattended.
@@kevinw.3607 That's what kids are for. Mum always got me to run the car for 5 minutes before she came out so it was lovely and warm. In Summer I've never had a real problem, just turn on the AC and crack the window an inch. Though did have a Sebring with faux wood steering wheel and damn that this was scorching.
what about for Canadian made models, I have yet to find a solution for it, I was trying to switch the cover on my fob after one of the buttons tore and became a hole, and broke the button on the board while trying to pry it open with an awl, and on Canadian made models you need 2 working keys to do so, I have yet to find a solution how to diy, everyone says take it to a locksmith or dealer.
That's so weird that the remote start wont work usually if its an LT it should have it regardless so when you program a remote it works. That was the case on my 2012 Impala LT.
Not sure if you have a check engine light on but on GM cars the remote start will not operate if you do. My 2015 Impala had remote start and you just push the lock button one time then push the remote start button and hold until it starts. Been the same on all my GM cars with remote start. This video shows how ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZXWu4jWjdO0.html
Hey i dont have an extra key do you know how many seconds or minutes i have between putting the old fob key in on the on position then quickly removing the pin to put it on the new fob ?
I had a Caprice 2007 and for some reasons my remote key got damaged , so I went to the GM agent in Bahrain (Arabian Gulf M.E.) where they wanted to charge me $340 fir a new one. Thats really too much for a remote key.
