Has anyone experienced their Chevy Volt Gen 2 not detecting the key fob to turn on the car or open the doors? It happens to me randomly. Some people here posted and indicated that it might be the USB charger inhibiting the sensor. I’ve unplugged USB charger cords but sometimes the car still...

Hello, I recently purchased a 2018 Volt Premier with 35K miles. Overall, I really enjoy the car. I actually sold a 2021 Tesla Model 3 because it really wasn't worth the money. I commute 120 miles a day to work and the overall costs for the Model 3 (including charging at home and payment) was not...

After getting body work done that required installing some new body panels, my 2016 Volt displayed a “Service: Keyless Start System” error. The remote works, but the buttons on the door handles don’t work, or at least they don’t register the presence of the fob. We also noticed that the...

Hi. I have a brand new 2019 Volt LT that I have had for a few months. I can not for the life of me figure out how I can/or if I am able to contact my garage door opener to the car? Some new cars have a button one can push within the car to automatically open the garage door. Am I able to do...

Greetings fellow Volt owners. I was a very early Volt adopter, purchased #639. I bought and programmed an extra key fob for it. The car was totaled a couple of months ago and I got a good deal on a 2013 as its replacement. I now want to use the extra 2011 key fob with the 2013. I've followed...

Has anyone tried programming the "new" style Cadillac key fob to the 2016 ELR? The key fobs that come with the current Cadillacs (ATS, CTS, XTS, etc.) are more substantial feeling and nicer looking than the older ones that come with the ELR, so I'm just curious to know if they use the same...

Today after I arrived at work and turned off the car, my Volt started beeping and the lights will not turn off. The message I get is: "Remote Left in Vehicle," or something to that effect. Both of the remotes have been accounted for (one is in my pocket and the other 8 miles away)...

The rubber switch-button cover of my 2011 remote is starting to fall apart. Electrically and mechanically it's fine other than that. Is the rubber pad available as a replacement part? I suspect that it is functionally the same as any recent GM 5-button unit but the 2011 Volt has a plug icon on...

A tale of woe that hopefully someone else can learn from. I took my grandson and (adult) daughter to the beach in Port Aransas, about 230 miles from home. We were ready to return home on the second day. I don't like leaving my car key in a bag of stuff on the beach since it's so easy for...

Took my Chevy in for a service and as part of the service they fixed two recall items that required a software update. Now when I press and hold the unlock button on the remote the window no longer come down. GREAT!! Anyone else had this problem after this recall update? Update 1. Was to fix...

I dropped my Wife off at the mail box with the dongle remote for the Volt in her pocket. I was able to continue driving up the driveway without the dongle. When I tried to turn the car off after parking in the garage it displayed the no remote detected error. I pushed the start button again and...

I lost my spare remote, and when searching online came up with $69 with programming instructions. Does anyone here have an extra remote they'd like to sell at a better price? Thanks -- resp to [email protected]

I didn't post this in the Fox news thread because the article appears to have a bit more veracity. This story is about a local Seattle company that has figured out how to hack into the Prius and Ford Explorer computer systems. They have demonstrated that once in, they can control the car. How...

Is there an ability to communicate with the Volt/Ampera where OnStar is not available - Mobile App/Web site/etc? Is all this functionality only provided via OnStar?

I think I've read here that the windows on the Volt can be opened using the Onstar RemoteLink App from an iPhone of similar device. Is this true? :confused: The only options I see on mine are 'Lock', 'Unlock', 'Remote Start', 'Cancel Start' and 'Horns & Lights.' Thanks in advance.

I came out of the movie theater and tried to demonstrate to my friend how I can remote start my car. The car was unresponsive, even from a few feet away. Even the unlock/lock buttons didn't work. I almost freaked out, and then remembered to pop out the manual key. I opened my door and tried...
