    Bought a 2019 Chevrolet equinox premier from a used dealership. They gave me a FOB without remote start and I did some digging and found that my cat was equipped with remote start. So I bought a FOB off Amazon and 30 mins later I now have remote start. Thank you so much for the video! Saving hundreds of dollars.

    2018 Equinox (31,000 miles): From the Beginning of owning this vehicle, one of the remotes has always been intermittently working. Under warranty, the dealership never replaced the remote. Instead, they would replace the battery and say that it is ok. It is still seldom working and very intermittent. Fortunately we have the second key fob that works flawlessly. I'm finally fed up with this remote.
    Where can I purchase a new one? (or should I try this procedure to add this remote and start fresh by reprogramming the car to recognize the remote again?). Thanks!

    Question - I recently purchased 2018 Equinox that only has 1 proximity remote and cut key. I see that can go through this process and it will reprogram the existing remote as well as the new one. My concern is that the Chevy has an after market car starter. Other posts warn to expect issues due to that. If there are issues during the attempt to pair, will the EXISTING remote still work if the airing fails on the new one? At what point is the point of no return? Could I have NO working fob to start the car?

    • @PYR-Auto
      @PYR-Auto  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah aftermarket car starters can occasionally cause issues. The previous remotes are erased at point where you press the stop/start button for the 3rd time are the end of the final 10 minute interval - right before it says ready for remote 1. If you were not able to program any remotes back into the vehicle, including the one what you already knows works for it then yes it is possible to end up with no working remotes.

    Hi, I was on your website watching your video (many thanks for that!) and if I understand correctly, after performing the procedure any existing key fob's will no longer work, so essentially programming a new key fob requires you to also re-program the existing working ones, is this correct?
