Newbie HHR owner

Hello to all. I am a newbie to HHR's and just picked up an 08 LS from my local credit union. Really cool car! I have been browsing this forum and noticed that some of you got remote start with yours. My LS came with an automatic transmission but I don't have a button on the key fob for the auto start. Are all automatics supposed to have the auto start feature? If so, would I just need a different key fob? Any info would be a big help before I call the dealership. Thanks

Welcome!

The remote start is available only on the automatic, but it is not standard with all automatics.

key fob with remote start button and program the fob done by dealer. AP3 is the code for the remote start system. A list of all features, by code, should be on the build sticker in your glovebox. And

Thanks for the replies. I was looking at my Carfax report and see that mine was a rental car from Ohio. That would explain why I don't have the remote start or the Onstar buttons. I think I still got a pretty good deal though. I paid $15000 for an 08 LS with 12k miles. It is black without a scratch on it. The interior is spotless also, not your typical rental! What do you guys think?
