My battery recently died complete but the car started up, the next day the key fob would unlock doors or start car, I insert the key fob into the slot in the glove box and still says key not detected. so I changed the battery in the key and it still won't read the it.

Hello,

I was unable to locate any information on your vehicle's remote start key fob, but I was able to find this Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that should help you. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
