Key Benefits of the Remote Start Upgrade
This Chevrolet accessory isn’t just about convenience; it’s about enhancing your driving experience. Here’s what makes this upgrade a valuable addition to your 2021 Chevy Equinox:
- Pre-Condition Your Cabin: Remotely start your engine to heat up or cool down your Equinox’s interior before you even step inside. Enjoy a comfortable temperature from the moment you get in, no matter the weather outside.
- Seamless Integration: Designed and engineered by Chevrolet, this upgrade integrates perfectly with your Equinox’s anti-theft and keyless entry systems. It works harmoniously with your vehicle’s electronics, ensuring reliable performance.
- Enhanced Safety and Security: The remote start system is engineered with safety in mind. When started remotely, the engine runs, but the transmission and accelerator are disabled, preventing unauthorized driving. The system also automatically shuts off after 15 minutes, or 30 minutes with a second remote start, for added security and fuel efficiency. Refer to your 2021 Chevy Equinox Owner’s Manual for complete details on remote start operation.
- Genuine Chevrolet Quality: As a Genuine Chevrolet Accessory, this remote start upgrade provides factory fit, finish, and function you can trust. It’s built to the high standards you expect from Chevrolet.
- Perfect Gift Idea: Looking for a practical and appreciated gift? This remote start upgrade is an excellent choice for yourself or any 2021 Chevy Equinox owner in your life.
What’s Included in the 2021 Chevy Equinox Key Fob Upgrade Kit?
The upgrade package comes with everything you need to add remote start capability to your 2021 Equinox (with manual rear liftgate TB4):
- Two (2) New Remote Start Key Fobs: You’ll receive two new key fobs equipped with the remote start button. These replace your existing key fobs and provide the new functionality.
- Dealer Programming Code: The kit includes a programming authorization code specifically for your dealership to activate the remote start feature and program the new key fobs to your vehicle.
- Vehicle Label: A vehicle label is also included as part of the complete kit.
Professional Dealership Programming Required
It’s important to note that professional dealership programming is required to enable the remote start feature and activate the new key fobs. This programming is not included in the price of the kit and must be performed by a certified Chevrolet dealer. Your existing physical keys are reused and installed into the new key fobs, meaning new hidden keys are not necessary.
