Mine is 2010 V8 2SS. Is yours a convertible, mine is not? Every site I have visited to check for fobs my search results come up with the OHTO code, not the V2TO like yours. My 2017 V6 Equinox code is also OHT01060512. V2TO must be 433MHz for European models.

European and North American Camaros do have some very easy detectable differences. Tailights,2 piece(NA) vs. 1 piece(Euro) also side mirrors small(NA) vs. large(Euro) Picture shows both differences.

Mine is an American car not European. I've just ordered another fob. On its way from the US i wonder if it'll work.

Good luck I hope it works, it's a confusing subject really. It seems everywhere you look different part numbers show up and different FCC codes as well.

Well new keyfob turned up. It isn't programming in to the car. I get the security theft message anyone got any ideas ? Do I need to send it back and try another one ? This is the third one I've tried all with the same error.

For instance I received 3 last year that are supposedly for my 2SS and they are 5 button, correct serial, and they go through both program methods without a problem. But after they are finished programming the remote start button does not start the car, instead it pops the trunk lol. All other buttons worked but I end up with 2 trunk releases lol. Anyhow I was refunded for them and kept them as spares but there are definitely some unknown differences in fobs out there. I asked you to post source to help the OP out. Also, can you post what make, model Camaro you have and serial # you ordered? Obviously 12-13 years later people can't read those fob numbers anymore.

I understand, even with the proper alleged serial number, purchasing from outside sources can be a crap shoot. nothing is certain or guaranteed....except as they say, death, taxes and now we can add gas prices will going up daily.


as to my serial number, turns out mine wasn't as common a number for a 2012 so providing mine would not guarantee once again, you get the right one. there are different serial numbers even for the same year, at least, that is what I was told. mine wasn't easy to read but after cleaning it real good, I could make it out. hope that helps some anyway.

I ordered one of these a month ago and it everything works perfectly. I ordered the 315mHz 5 button and I used one of my other keys to perform the quick copy method. The initial key I inserted when copying did not have functioning remote start but the key I inserted with this board has everything working. I only ordered the board.

cant let this thread die just yet, just finished switching over my original flip key circuit board over to the (key fob upgrade) and had it cut. all of the buttons worked fine but im stuck on programing, the car starts right after doing the original key then switching to the new key but while running the theft light stays on and after turning it off it will not start back up without that same process?

If you did the quick add a key method I could see it happening. I would try the full relearn of all the keys if you have not already, it takes considerably longer to do but may fix your problem.
