Question ZL1 no remote start on FOB?

New 2018 ZL1 (A10) owner! Ive owned 2 5th gens in the past. On my ZL1s key fob there is no remote start button. Searching around it seems remote start is a pretty standard feature for ZL1s. New car didn't come with owners manual either so maybe I'm just missing something. Does anyone know if remote start isn't a standard option?

Sounds to me like you probably got keys for the car that don't have the right fob.

sounds like an aftermarket FOB that was coded to your car.

That is a fob for an manual 6 Camaro, that is what I have, no remote start. I agree with above, aftermarket fob coded for your car, but not the correct fob.

Did you get 2 fobs with the car? Are both like that?

I’m pretty sure you should have the five button remote with that car

The correct remote should look like this. I would absolutely be talking with a dealership about having the car checked because this would be an easy way for them to "steal" it.

I would get them to at least program you two new key fobs, having a physical key is also very nice to have.

Fixed it for you. Make sure they disable all other keys but the correct two keys you should actually have with your car.

Also,

Yes - get that emergency key cut to the car. You don't want to find yourself stranded, and not have the option to use that key.
