Why no onstar? I thought every 2014 had basic onstar, including lockout, for five years.What do you guys do about a spare key ? I'm thinking about stashing a spare fob and key on the car just in case of getting locked out
No onstar on my 2014.
All. Y other cars I stash a spare key just in case.
basic onstar is free for 5 years. I have it on my 2014 Cruze. Basic onstar is pretty much just the remote unlock feature and a monthly email with the status of your car. Press the button and ask them about it.Bought it used and didn't get it when purchased. It has the option. Just not paying 20.00 a month just to open a door lol

I think anyone with the right tools can cut the key. I have heard that some people are getting them cut at ACE hardware for a good price, but I haven't tried it yet. It would be nice to find a solution other than the dealer because they charge a ridiculous amount just to cut a key.Ill for sure sure check on the 5 yr basic onstart. Thanks for the heads up.
And thanks for the key option. So any locksmith can cut the key or a dealer has to do it. ???
Thanks for for the information. Trying to learn as much as I can. Always something to learn.
Happy easter all.
You should be able to go to just about any locksmith to cut one unless you don't have another key as a template to copy. Most locksmiths have the equip to cut a double-sided key like that. The real downside is getting the FOB to go with it. Most the links we mentioned have a blank "blade" with the FOB and you should be able to get that cut with little hastle at a bonded locksmith.So any locksmith can cut the key or a dealer has to do it. ???
This is all new to me also. but I have the spare blade just a broken FOB with the blade more or less super glued in: so I am considering which is the best way to go for me. Replace the blank blade with mine and just program the FOB to my car as XR explained or have the blank one cut to match my standard keys? At this point it is an extra for me so no hurry.Always something to learn.
How were you going to add remote start? Changing your BCM? I believe that is what is needed to get remote start on the Cruze. As far as I know there is nothing on the LT that will interact with the remote FOB unless you change the BCM.
I believe there's a Youtube video of someone specifically adding remote start to a Cruze. You have another FOB that you have to carry as it's separate from the GM Key FobOk so I may be taking this thread in a different direction but. Lol
so could I get the remote with the remote start ??? With it work ?
Was thinking of adding remote start down the line.
I had 3 months with my 2014, but I did not activate it.Why no onstar? I thought every 2014 had basic onstar, including lockout, for five years.
These are great - cost me about $2.50 to get it cut at my dealer.for a spare, check out these. I have been considering this.

As others have said above, you would have to add a factory remote start, reprogram the car and then it MIGHT work. You're better off buying an alarm with a remote start package and carry an extra remote. I recommend Python or a Viper if you can afford it.Ok so I may be taking this thread in a different direction but. Lol
