Reread post # 2.
He states, which is true, vehicles built for the rental fleets had the remote start delete option.
Chizzer.....if I remember correctly HHR's with the automatic trans. and built for Canada, did not automatically come with the remote start. You had to elect it as an option. But, look on the bright side.....you got running boards (standard in Canada on 07's).
May be wrong, however.

, but we do get the running boards!...does that mean we get to brag or should we hang our heads in shame?

From the manual:
"The key has a transponder in the key head that matches
a decoder in the vehicle’s steering column."
and
"(Remote Vehicle Start): If your vehicle has the
remote vehicle start feature, the remote keyless entry
transmitter will have a button with this symbol on it." (symbol is a circle shaped arrow)

That is for the security system not auto start.
From the manual:

a decoder in the vehicle’s steering column."

My transmitter has the button, but it doesn't work. Perhaps I'll try wheelie's little walk through and see if it work.

Hi There,Ill be the 1st to help you...
When I first got Wheelie (My Blue HHR) from the dealership, the auto start feature was disabled, so the dealer turned it on and Wheelie could start automatically, it could be that your auto start feature has been turned off, and U may need to turn it on..here is how:
1)Turn on our HHR to ON
2) press and hold the little Menu button and the left downward arrow button on the steering wheel for 3 seconds, you should see OIL LIFE RESET on the DIC
3) keep pressing the MENU botton till u see AUTO START on the display. (or something simular to it)
4)press the left arrow botton to turn that feature ON
5)now turn off your HHR and on your key fob, press the LOCK button. (u may want to get out of the car for this part)
6)within 2 seconds of you pressing the Lock button, you must press the little uncompleted circle botton on your key fob, the TOP center button and hold it for 2 seconds
7) Your Beloved HHR should turn ON automatically for you.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!

It worked!! Thanks Wheelie7!
I guess if they can enable that feature on your HHR you'd get a different remote to go with it.
