2008 panel door popper!

Find another dealership. Sound like a bunch of clowns.
They may have to download and install new firmware for the RCDLR.
Here is a guess scenario:
2008 HHR TSB 08-03-16-001B about having to reload RCDLR firmware because a loss of power kills the memory. They downloaded the firmware for a LT/LS, not a panel.

Sorry my HHR doesn't have remote start, the fob has just 5 buttons, lock/unlock, right/left rear door and a panic button. Dealing with the locksmith was a LOT friendlier than my Chevy dealer (they don't care about 7 year old cars)-- I started at the dealer and they wanted $70 for the remote and said set up an service appointment to program it (3 days was the earliest they would book me). The locksmith also said he wouldn't charge me if the remote didn't work (he hadn't seen a car with factory door openers). It took him 5 min to plug the laptop in, go through the menus of the different cars, and then hit program.
Good Luck with whatever you do -- I can't live without my remote.

Chubbyboy57 was your panel a rental? All retail HHRs with automatic transmissions have remote start its option AP3 on the list sticker in your glove box.
If it's not listed try this thread

Steve. Just to clarify your post: All retail HHR's with an automatic transmission have remote start.
Don't want someone to think "all" means every retail one made.

It's been a while since I went through that neverending thread, but I think the fix only works up to 2008. If the option is not in the "personalisation" menu it won't work.
If it is in the menu and turned on (and has a hood ajar switch wired in the latch) you only need to press lock then panic+lock on a 3 button remote.
