Stumbled onto something
my Remote entry device:
Press the lock button three time (in succession), then one more time. The car STARTS!!!
Is this normal???
Vette is 2001 and owners' manual does not address remote start.

Try it on yours. Could be an aftermarket on the car and I was not informed of it.
