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
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 ❤
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!
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 🫡
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.
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
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
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
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. 😁
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
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.
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
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.
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 ?
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.
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 th-cam.com/video/ZXWu4jWjdO0/w-d-xo.html
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.
You will most likely have to got to the dealer. Jeep\Daimler_Chrysler\Mercedes the remotes aren't easily changeable. I had to go to the dealer for my 2006 Grand Cherokee. The remote I got off eBay didn't work. The locksmith said it depends on where the car is made. The dealer key cost $500 and had to come from Germany as that's where my Jeep was built. The ebay one was $50. Everything on that Jeep was crazy expensive.
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.
Try locking twice and then the remote start. That's how my Impala remote Starr works. Great video Randy
no you have to lock twice and hold the remote start button some newer GM you have to push twice but the have a ''2X'' on the button
On my buick verano 2015 it’s one time lock, and hold the starter button after
My 2019 Impala only takes one lock press and then hold remote button to start
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
Good Video Randy This Past Tuesday August 15 One Year Working At Stop And Shop
Doesn’t the check engine light need to be off for remote start to work?
Yes

@@davidvianu2353 Thanks my friend ,will give them a try 🙂👍
@@just4kicks950 your welcome
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.
Good afternoon Randy from @Auto Action Rebuild always enjoy watching your videos
Awesome thank you!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds 🤝🙏
Randy,On my remote you do the locks and then PRESS TWICE 2 times on the remote start button do you try it that way yet🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤞✌
I did not try that. I'll give it a shot.
Great info the only issue is the car has a check engine light. GM cars will disable remote start when the check engine light is on.
Good point. This is very true.
Hello Randy. Programing a new key fob for the Chevrolet Impala and have remote start. Good luck Randy.
Randy i've been programming those newer remotes for a few years. Mine you have to double click remote start 2 times. That should fix ya!
Randy you have teached me something today about key 🔑 fobs. Thanks bud.
I got a remote start from Amazon for my charger so there are aftermarket remote starts you use your key fob 😊
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
The remote start module is really easy to install yourself !!
If it's anything like my sonic you gotta hit lock twice where you hear horn twice than hit start button
My dad had a Malibu it was a 2009 but it had remote start. It just didn’t have a fob we got one and it worked.
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
Randy if you do, lock unlock lock or something like that remote start should work b
You need to change the starter . To get the starter system to work right. Okay. If you don't have it at all. Okay. Keep up the great work.
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
Did you try pushing the the remote start button twice and release it
Another great video randy today is my gf's birthday were going out for dinner later anyways have an amazing day Randy
Can I use same procedure to program a key fob with a chip key?
Randy on mine you need to lock it twice. 2 horn blows then it works.
That's odd, my 2019 Impala only takes one lock button press, so one horn, then hold remote start and it starts right up
I think if you have a fancy scan tool like John Ross's you can turn on features. You might try that.
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. 😁
Learned something new..Great content Randy
You have to unlock lock then double tap the remote start
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
Randy you gotta push it twice for the remote start to work
Love this Impala videos !
You have to push the lock 3 times then push and hold the auto starter
6:58 lock (once) unlock ( once )lock lock (twice )hold then it will work
You might need to push lock twice then click the remote start once let go then hold it down
BTW it was lock 2x then hold the remote start on my 2011
Hey Randy try locking your car three times real quick and then hold down the circle button and see if it works
Randy can you do the same steps with a Honda Civic?
You have to hit lock two times then hold remote start
Did you check and see if remote start is turned on in the info panel
I'm surprised that newer Impala didn't have OEM remote start... my 2011 was only a LT with the base 3.5 and it came with it standard!
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.
Hey Randy Your Programming keys for the chevrolet impala
Remote start won't be available if you have a check engine light set.
Do you know about the hidden compartment behind the stereo screen?
Most of them you have to push the remote start 2 times for it to work
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.
Click the lock button twice then the remote start twice. But on the second one hold it.
If the "Check Engine"light is on, the remote start will not work. Can't remember if this one has a light on.
Press and hold the starter button on the remote hit the lock button
Learn something new every day that’s awesome
Is it alright if save this video for myself Randy in case have to do it myself.
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
Try lock once, then remote start twice and hold second time.
also note if a engine light is on it wont remote start most cars disable the rem start over a check engine light
What about for a 2015 ltz push button to program a new key fob
Thanks anyway my friend. 😊
Do you have to press lock twice then the remote, and it will start
Randy push lock twice😊should work
just buy the module and then use your obd scanner to enable it
Hello my Chevrolet 2011 second key button’s works perfectly but it won’t start by it self, I try to do the same but lock light is always on.
I love watching your video's
Push the lock button once. Push on the remote start and hold until lights flash. The car will then start.
You need the peps remote. This is the wrong link.
You need a push Start/Stop button for it to work.
Y, I had a Chrysler and on the remote start,you do it three times but on the third time you hold it and it starts.
How u got the key thing to put in when it pose to be a push start
I have a 2013 Buick lacrosse keyless start the key just opens the doors… how can I program it?
Hit lock twice then press the remote button
That's what I was saying as I was watching randy should know this
Will this work on my Chevy Trax
However, does this method work if your car is push to start?
I need to know also. I do not have an ignition switch, just a Push to Start button.
What if it’s push start? I’m having to change mine but the program website doesn’t load properly for me.
Can I put my old key blade on a new key fab then program it
Randy go into the settings of the vehicle bc it can be turned off
Can I do this with one original key ?
Press the lock twice and then press and hold down circle button for five seconds and it will start
Could I put remote start on my 05 impala?
You might need a plug for the auto start
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.
I did the same thing with my mom's impala, same thing here, car does not have remote start.
My old Chevy Uplander wouldn't allow remote start if check engine light is on.
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 ?
Hey Randy hit the lock button Twice then try again

Push remote start twice,hold the button the second time.
The car wasn't programmed with it from the factory so it won't work no matter how many times he presses or holds the button lol
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
th-cam.com/video/ZXWu4jWjdO0/w-d-xo.html
Great video🔥👌😎
What if you only have 1 key fob. How do you activate it then?
Bummer Randy but that’s ok you have a new key fob.
And if the check engine light is on the remote start will not work.
Remote start will not function when the check engine light is on.
Nice!
Very informative video
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.
My problem is when I turn on with a new remote the car turns on after that the anti theft system keeps turning
Any chance you know how to do a Mercedes e class?
You will most likely have to got to the dealer. Jeep\Daimler_Chrysler\Mercedes the remotes aren't easily changeable. I had to go to the dealer for my 2006 Grand Cherokee. The remote I got off eBay didn't work. The locksmith said it depends on where the car is made. The dealer key cost $500 and had to come from Germany as that's where my Jeep was built. The ebay one was $50. Everything on that Jeep was crazy expensive.
Does this work for 2020 impala lost mine
Good video 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
