I bought a 2006 Lacrosse that came with an Astrostart remote starter system, and no factory remotes. I was curious if I programmed a factory remote, would it work (coexist with the aftermarket system), kick off the aftermarket system, or not even work at all?? I got the car used with 2 keys and only one remote. The Astrostart remote is terrible- you have to hold the buttons for like 3 seconds and they are all really tiny. SO, if I bought something like this: Amazon GM remote and programmer would it work? Anyone know if an aftermarket remote start system can coexist with a factory remote (to be clear, I wouldn't buy a factory remote with the remote start feature. I know that wouldn't work. I just want a 4 button remote. )
Aftermarket remote start-still use factory remote?

Our old Jeep had an aftermarket remote start system that worked with the factory key fob. You just pressed the lock button 3 times to start it. I have no idea what brand the system was though.
Yes, directed (dei) sells many kits that will allow for this functionality. They have a great website that will give you install instructions as well.
My Jeep has aftermarket remote starter. The factory key fobs lock/unlock the doors and the aftermarket can start & lock/unlock.
