UPDATE: It was a broken module that needed to be replaced. HI. I have read the other issues with command start. Has anyone got an official diagnosis? My dealer says the coolant level sensor is preventing it from starting.

On our 2012 Volt I kept OnStar for a while - and actually used it three times. The first time was when I accidentally locked myself out of the car but had my cellphone at hand. The second time was for navigation, to impress a passenger (though my phone and the car's GPS could have done the job)...

I have a 2012 Volt and the electric cabin heat doesn't seem to work most days UNLESS I remote start/remote condition the car. It doesn't seem to matter if it is plugged in or not when I remote start, as long as I remote start it for a few minutes, the heat will work. I've seen people post...

My Volt has 62 miles on it. Two days ago the Check Engine Light lit up and has stayed on. I find I am able to drive without any problems, the only issue is I cannot remote start. On the key fob I press Lock and then Start (holding it down until the lights flash, which they do) but there is a...

Hi all, I was wondering if there was a way to set up the OnStar RemoteLink app to notify me when my car is done charging after doing a remote start with the vehicle plugged in. I use Level 1 charging (I rent from in a condominium complex so installing a Level 2 station is not possible for me...

For the past couple of days, my 2012 Volt has been remote starting on its own. I will arrive to my destination, lock the car, and it will proceed to go through 2 remote start cycles. This will repeat everytime I get back in the car and go someplace else. OnStar says it is a hardware issue...

Is it possible to do a remote start and schedule a delayed start with an ODBII device, like http://www.scantool.net/obdlink-mxwf.html?gclid=CKLCvKGp0MICFaGPMgodnDQAXA ? These are the only two features I'd use OnStar for, and I haven't had any luck with OnStar doing anything useful yet.

Hi, this is my first post and the first problem I've had with my 2014 Volt since buying it in November, 2013. I live in Miami, FL and therefore it is really hot outside from May - October. Since we are now in the hot season, I've started to use the remote-start feature to cool the interior of...

Pulled my 2012 into one of the 8 charging stations at the San Jose Airport lot 5 yesterday at 4:30am temp was 41. Next to me was a 2013 plugged into a charger with its engine running and no one around. It shut off while i was walking to the terminal. By the look of the condensation from the...

Wouldn't it be better if you didn't have to remember to set your heat on high every night? it seems easy enough to make an app built into the OnStar app to adjust your climate settings, thanks GM for making such a great car.

I have a few issues that I am trying to work thru on my 2013 Volt - Service Parking Brake: I have been getting a "service parking brake" message.. It turns off, however, as soon as I release the parking brake. WHen I did a diagnostics check with Onstar, they turned up nothing. Does...

Perhaps this information was already covered somewhere in this forum, but I can't seem to find it. I also checked the owner's manual and it is not clear there either. Let's say I have the Volt hooked-up to a 220V charger, then do a remote start to cool the cabin. What steps do you take when you...

I didn't see in the manual any tips on how to EFFECTIVELY preheat the cabin of your chevy Volt so after some experimentation I found what works really good and what doesn't. Just thought I'd share for the other Volt owners. FYI I'm currently at 155 miles per gallon shot with a Sony NEX-FS100...

I've hacked together a small script to emulate the OnStar's remote start feature. The big advantage this has to what OnStar offers is that this can be configured (via Windows "Scheduled Tasks" feature) to run automatically at a set schedule. Because that was my intended purpose, it...

I'm playing around with my DashDAQ and I like many are curious about pre-conditioning (remote start), charging and really any number of other things on the car really. Since it's getting cold and there are alot of questions in the area of pre-conditioning in particular I thought I'd post a...
