    Hi all, i just bought a 2007 chev tahoe LT. The remote has buttons for lock, unlock, gate unlock, and a button near the top with a symbol of an arrow in a circle which I assume is meaning - to turn the engine over? The used car dealer seemed to think the truck has remote start...but he couldn't get it to function, I bought the rig anyway since I liked it so much! Should I assume because this arrow button is on the remote that the truck has remote start? If so, why doesn't it start when I press the button? All the other buttons work.

    thanks all!!

    It may have been an option and they didn't want to make two different keypads?

    Just a guess though, LOL.

    What kind of remote is it? Factory aftermarket?

    I think it's factory. There are no brand names on it. The truck does not seem rigged with after market stuff, there's no antenna in the windshield like you might see on an after market starter. The truck's fully loaded so it's conceivable that there's a remote starter in it. Any other way to tell?

    Even if its a factory remote, it can still have a remote starter. Theres aftermarket remote starter add on's that just add on and you use your factory remote to start it. Usually it would be....lock, unlock, lock.....or maybe lock, lock, lock to start. And these types of systems dont have antennas.

    Maybe the button on the remote is for "panic" for the factory alarm? :confused:

    hit lock. then hold the circular arrow on top for a few seconds. the lights on the car will light up. let go and it will start. it says it on the back of the remote too
