Engine Start/Stop button won’t work
Today I received a new transmitter for my z06 since I only received one initially. I began to program the transmitter per the owners manual and on this forum and it didn’t seem to get past the step of saying ready for activation.
From this point forward, my good transmitter will unlock/lock the car, open the hatch, remote start the car but the start/stop button on the dash won’t do anything. The wording will illuminate but won’t allow the vehicle to actually start. It won’t even shut the car off after I remote start, I have to turn off from the remote.
I tried to to reprogram the remotes and nothing happens. The radio won’t even turn off when I lock the car.
Im at a loss... any suggestions?
Thanks

Not sure but believe I've seen posts about "gremlins" after doing this. First, where did you get the 2nd remote from? Other posts said they must be for your very exact car. Verts have a different remote, manuals versus autos, etc. If you got it off a secondary website like Amazon/Ebay, you might have wrong version which is screwing your settings up. Someone else will chime in with clearer instructions I hope (I've never re-programed one). Good luck!

Not saying for sure but I'd check into EXACTLY the P/N for your particular car. Dealerships definitely make mistakes sometimes when ordering parts not being aware multiple parts for a run of cars (C7s). I know they'll probably want to charge you if they reprogram the new RKE but ask them & maybe you'll get lucky. Let us know the outcome-thanks & good luck.
