How do i know if my wifes car is equipped with a remote start system?

I recently bought my wife a saturn aura and it did not come with any key fobs. Before i go out and buy her a remote start system is there a way to tell if she has a remote starter system installed?

Key FOB is to unlock the doors & set the security system,
nothing to do with a remote start

    The key fobs have a button on them for remote start though. so it does have something to do with it.

You can go to the dealer and have the new remote and the car re-programed so they match and the old luck transmitter with not work on your car. Good luck

SOURCE: 2008 Aura XR, Key FOB will unlock all the doors

Interesting. My best guess is that there is problem with driver's door lock actuator or switch. The remote start won't work because the car has to confirm that the doors are locked before initiating the starting sequence.

SOURCE: '98 Saturn SL1 won't start. Alarm system behaving

I had this same exact problem in a family member's Saturn. If you are opening the door with the key and not using the key FOB to unlock the doors, then the security system will not allow you to start the car. You will notice when this happens that the dome light will blink and you'll hear the relay in the BCM clicking.

In order to stop the security system from doing this: Make sure the car is locked with the key fob by hitting the lock button. Then hit the unlock button on the key fob once and then once again (I do it out of habit). Then open the driver side door, put the key in and it should start no problem.

SOURCE: my wife's 2006 saturn vue will not start. it

the amber light is not for the door locks its for the security system,there must be a issue there,either a bad BCM or a BAD PASSLOCK housing,,,it needs to go to dealer to find out which one,right now its in theft mode and it cuts the fuel off,,,

Whaat does the key fob battery low mean on my saturn aura?

Your remote for your car needs a new battery - take it to a Watch shop or mass merchandiser ( like Walgreens, Kmart or Walmart to name a few ) and they can replace your battery. Don't wait, as your remote will stop working very soon and you may not be able to turn off your alarm, although most alarmed vehicles can shut off the alarm by unlocking the door with the key. The remote is called a key fob.

Hi! My name is Sharon and I have a 2009 Saturn Aura. Recently I have discovered that one of my key fobs works intermittently and on the spare, even after replacing the battery, does not lock/unlock the...

Hi, the key fob has contacts on a circuit board, much like a remote control for a tv, or a calculator. These contacts are what the buttons touch, to make it work. the buttons, or contacts may be dirty, with a carbon film on them causing the two buttons not to work, leaving only 1 functional. If you take it apart, much like putting a new battery in, you can actually pop out the green circuit board, and see the contacts. These can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Try cleaning the contacts, and the back side of the buttons. A re program is not in order, because you have 1 function, and will either work as a whole, or none at all. If cleaning does not work, You may need a new fob. Good luck...coop442000

2008 Aura XR, Key FOB will unlock all the doors but the drivers, and will only remote start the car if the Fob is in the car.

Key fob wont work

the battery part just use a flat screwdriver, or if you are like my wife a butter knife, and pop off the back and go get a battery. You should not have to reprogram the remote. I just bought a 98 lincoln and the battery was dead in the remote also and all I did was replace the battery. hope this helps.
