Wireless Start-Up?

[RoyalH3]

The place im dealing with says that you cant program the stock key fob to start the car?? Any ideas on what i should tell them besides i have a forum of people that have it?

To put in my 2 cents on the lojack/onstar thing... H3's come with onstar standard so you, considering you pay the monthly fee, already have the onstar gps tracking. BUT, i do agree that i would feel alot better in having the lojack system just because thats all they are used for. They are designed to recover vehichles and nothing else, unlike onstar which it is a feature. Psh, you could do onstar and lojack and then laugh at people who try to steal your car

A good shop would look into it?.otherwise try a different installer that know newer cars and trucks.Good luck

To reprogram a factory remote, the shop needs to have a scan tool that can put the vehicle into BCM programming mode. There are some other ways as well, but the scan tool is the easiest. The whole process takes less than 5 mins for an installer that knows what he's doing.

fourfourto's remote start with the factory key fob... works, I'm not sure I'd recommend it, but it's not reprogrammed. The remote start activate is hooked up to the door locks (either lock or unlock), looking for 2 pulses. Any installer would know what you mean if you told them this. I just don't like the fact that anyone can start your truck by hitting the locks twice!

IMO OnStar is just fine, I wouldn't get lojack. If you want more control, you can get something like the viper gps system. That way you can track your truck yourself over the internet or phone, turn it on/off, etc.. and get some vigilante justice if it's stolen. But of course it's range is limited just like OnStars.
