remote start sticker under hood =help
 

as i was lookng under the hood today at my 2002 sc2 i noticed a orange sticker the read ":this vehicle equipped with remote start please remove the red wire on the starter or the fuse befor performing work on starting system "something along those lines .


so accourding to the sticker this car has remote start .but my key fob does not .i bought this used so who knows if i got the correct fob .and i only got 1 .

discuss please......do i need a different remote?
how to verify it actually has remote start system??
if it does i would like to get it functioning.

Who knows what was stuck on the car ... did not come from the factory that way.

looks like a factory sticker .i will take a picture and post it .maybe you can tell?

i,m sorry the sticker is yellow obviously...lol...

sw2Cam is right -- it never left the factory that way.

The barcode label you show is the serial number of the after-market remote starter system. Systems like this normally require a separate keyfob to operate. Factory keyfob's won't get it done. You are going to have to do some "sherlocking" under the hood, under the dash, and possibly in the trunk of your new (to you) vehicle, looking for a non-standard package. Once you find it, there's a good chance that the manufacturer's name will be on the box.

Armed with the manufacturer and the serial number, you should be able to contact the people that make the remote system, and purchase a fob from them .... good luck.


Of course, all of the above assumes that the original owner didn't remove the start system prior to the sale .......

i found out what it is .a "code alarm f50/55 system .found the control box under the dash .found the valet switch too and the light. after running the numbers off the box and some googling i came up with the info i needed .

now to track down a remote .i seen new ones but i,ll try a cheap used one first if i can find one .

thanks guys.


ps- now i know what the extra antenna is on the windshield too .a range extender

ya know there might be a reason that the owner didn't give you a remote start fob (like it doesn't work...)

buyer beware........

well i bought it from a used car dealer lot so he may have never been passed the key fob when it was traded.2 previous owners as well so who knows .
i can get a key fob for it for under 30 bucks shipped on ebay so its not gonna break the bank to test it .
