PROGRAMMING: Your vehicle must be programmed to recognize the remote. You can do this yourself UP TO and including model year 2010. Instructions are included. Starting in 2011 GM removed the on-board programming and you will have to take your vehicle to a dealer or locksmith to have it programmed with diagnostic equipment.
Programming Notes: SATURN VEHICLES ALL YEARS DO NOT HAVE AN ON-BOARD PROGRAMMING METHOD. You will need to go a dealership or automotive locksmith for programming. .
This remote will replace:

GM AP8 vs AP3
There is a lot of confusion surrounding the AP8 code regarding remote start capability on GM vehicles.
AP3 is factory INSTALLED remote start - meaning the vehicle has remote start already
AP8 is Remote Start PREP package (meaning remote start can be added later)
IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS AP8:
Only the dealer can install the remote start. You have to buy the remote start package from GM. It comes with two key fobs and instructions.
The instructions have a unique code that comes with the package and the dealer has to use this key to get a VIN specific code from GM. This GM
Code is then used by the technician to activate and unlock the remote start in the BCM.
This is why you cannot just buy the key fobs without the special code. GM will not give out the unlock code without being given the one from
the OEM remote start package.
Once it is unlocked in the BCM you can then use any remote start key fob without going through this procedure again.
Once again: CODE AP8 MEANS IT HAS THE PREP PACKAGE, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY HAVE REMOTE START AND JUST BUYING REMOTES WITH THE R/S BUTTON WILL NOT GIVE YOU THAT FUNCTION.

Awesome Product
Got the products quickly and it was easy to program. I had to reference my owners manual for the remote starter part, but it was not hard. Cheaper then if we would have gone to the dealer. Thank you!

AWESOME
I thought the remote key was not going to work, but it did work. The instructions were a bit difficult to understand, but a simple video on Youtube helped. Over all the key is great.

Just what I needed!
Purchased two remotes with start function for my Chevrolet Traverse at a very reasonable price. I was notified that they had shipped in short order and they arrived just a couple of days later. The remotes came with programming instructions that made it very easy. It took far less than 5 minutes to program my current remote along with the two new ones. I would not hesitate to purchase from this company again. Very satisfied!
