AP3 has a different meaning for 2009. It means RKE (that they all have) There is no specific code for RVS for 2009-2011.

 

He did say the fob has the buttons and so , I guess I was off a year.

 

Help me interpret that? RKE and RVS?

Yes, the barcode sticker was there when I bought the car, probably from the rental company. I just haven't peeled it off yet.

So do you think it's possible to add satellite to the car and retain factory look, without too much hassle?

 

Remote Keyless Entry
Remote Vehicle Start

should be able to add the satellite radio parts and program the ORM head unit

 

You would need a XM unit, wiring and antenna from a junkyard AND BCM programming from GM. BT would take a OnStar module from a junkyard and wiring. And some know-how

 

These kits are available at Crutchfield

I don’t see Chevrolet HHR in the order area, maybe call them

 

If you want to experiment you could try patching the XV300V1 into the radio plug since the radio does not have a dedicated plug for XM, but there are pins for the XM in the harness plug. Steering wheel controls go through the BCM, so maybe.

"XM/Sirius Ready" means there is a barrel plug on the back of the HU ready for literal plug n play.

 

If the fob has a remote button and the car has no RVS, the fob may be a replacement. There’s no harm in double checking the setup for a disabled remote start option, though; even if not SUPPOSED to be there in a 2009, who knows for sure what fleet sales would do to land a fat rental order?

 

Yes, he could scroll through the menus in the DIC to see if there is a RVS option to enable. Or, look for a wire going into the hood latch (not the impact sensor).

 

I was in my local WallyMart , in the automotive area they had two different kits to add Sirius XM radio to a car. Under $100.00 CAD
