Previously supported Remote Start removed from MyChevy App
I have a 2016 Express Van equipped with remote start that I’ve owned since new. Whether it was the older OnStar app or the MyChevrolet app, remote start through the app (since it was an app feature) has worked for years. Recently the in-app Start button disappeared. When I called OnStar they said that my VIN doesn’t have remote start, despite it being equipped from the factory that way. My belief is that someone at either Chevy or OnStar made a change to the VIN reference feature tables. Since OnStar uses VIN tables to determine which features are enabled in the app, this effectively Nerfs a feature that was factory equipped. I have an appropriate plan, I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app, and did an OnStar vehicle update… so the problem isn’t the van or my plan. The problem is the feature list OnStar and the MyChevrolet app is referencing on their end.
