Is there any way to program the FOB to remote start the car? My 01 had an aftermarket alarm and you could start the car with the FOB. I hated the alarm system but the remote start capability was very handy, especially in cold weather. I don't want to put an aftermarket system on my car. Any ideas on this?

With the whole ignition system being predicated on the FOB being in the car, I think it would be hard, if not impossible to get your car to do this unless there is some way to leave one FOB in the car somewhere and still have the car lock for you....

My wife has a STS with the same pushbutton start on it and it does have remote start. I was suprised to find that the Vet did not have remote start.

The STS push button start is a little different than the C6. That is the issue.
