Came onto this web site for answers from the experts. It seems the dealer can only answers question if he smells money
My question is how do we reset the remote start after the battery went dead? we hit the button to lock the door, then use the start button teh fricking horn goes ape ****.
The DIC doesn't even display that the remote start doesn't exist. What do i need to do? Help the wife is pissed.

I had a situation once where the remote itself was causing the exact scenario you describe.
But if all that happened was a dead battery that seems a little odd. Im sure youve already checked your manual for a possible reset procedure hmmm...

Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote starting feature. This
feature allows you to start the engine from outside of the
vehicle. It also starts up the vehicle’s heating or air
conditioning systems and rear window defogger. When
the remote start system is active and the vehicle
has an automatic climate control system, it will
automatically regulate the inside temperature. Normal
operation of the system will return after the key is turned
to the on position.
Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters, for example, requiring a person using
remote start to have the vehicle in view when doing so.
Check local regulations for any requirements on
remote starting of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is
low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
/
(Remote Start): Press the lock button and then
press this button to use the remote start feature.
To start the vehicle using the remote start feature,
do the following:
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press the transmitter’s lock button, release it and
then immediately press and hold the transmitter’s
remote start button until the vehicle’s turn signal
lights flash or for at least four seconds. The
vehicle’s doors will be locked.
3. When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn
on and remain on while the vehicle is running, and
the DIC will display REMOTE START ACTIVE
PRESS HAZARD SWITCH TO CANCEL when the
vehicle starts.
4. If it is your first remote start since last driving,
repeat these steps while the engine is still
running for a 10 minute time extension.
When you enter the vehicle during a remote start, and
the engine is still running, turn the key to the RUN
position to drive the vehicle.
If the vehicle is left running it will automatically shut off
after 10 minutes unless a time extension has been
done. To manually shut off a remote start, do any of
the following:
•
Aim the remote keyless entry transmitter at the
vehicle and press the remote start button until
the parking lamps turn off.
•
Turn on the hazards warning flashers.
•
Turn the ignition switch on and then off.
The remote start feature provides two separate starts,
each with 10 minutes of engine running, or it provides
one start with 10 minutes of engine running which may
be extended by 10 more minutes. If you press and
release the transmitter lock button and then press and
hold the remote start button, on the keyless entry
transmitter, again before the first 10 minutes of the
engine running time has expired, 10 minutes are added
to the remaining minutes. For example, if the lock
and then the remote start buttons are pressed again
after five minutes of the engine run time, 10 minutes
are added and you now have 15 minutes of the
engine running. The added 10 minutes is considered
a second start. Once two remote starts or a single start
with a time extension have been provided, the vehicle
must be started normally with the ignition key to
get more remote starts.

2008 GP, the battery went dead and after replacing the remote start didn't work after that. We took it to the dealer three times all they accomplished was to break both remotes. Had to re-attach the battery contacts

The battery contacts and rubber inserts are known problems in those remotes. Im sure they were already broken or near failure. We solder a couple dozen of those remotes a month.

Your actually rubber insert could be your problem. Like I said I experienced it personally on my fiancees remote.. the black metallic pads underneath that push on the circuit are junk.

Any aftermarket equipment? Any DIC customizations need to be reset? I'm lost as to why the Remote Start option on the DIC would disappear. As "Jteske88" mentioned, even if it was disabled, it would still show up on the DIC.
Any additional information you can provide may help.

Not sure if the battery dying would cause it to need to be reprogrammed or not. If so, find a locksmith who can do it. Has to be done via the OBDII port
edit: the car battery? or the fob battery?
