RemoteLink remote start won't work

So I signed up for the free OnStar trial today and downloaded the app, mainly so I could play with it. I can lock and unlock my truck fine and get all the information about it that OnStar relays to my phone, but the remote start function doesn't work. My truck has the AP8 RPO... with that said, I assume that means that with that and TPMS it should work. And it kinda does... it will sit there and think, locks the doors after a few seconds, and then the parking lights come on like they're supposed to but within a second they go right back off and then my phone tells me:

 

Could not start your vehicle.

 

Remote start is not allowed when your

keys are in the vehicle and only two

remote starts are allowed per ignition

cycle. (220)

 

And neither of these things are the issue. One key is in my pocket, the other in my wife's purse, and we're both in the house looking out the window at it when trying to get it to start. I've gone out and started it with the key then tried the app again to eliminate the latter issue but still, I can't get it to work. Does it absolutely have to have the AP3 upfit for it to work, or is it just not wanting to cooperate with me? I've looked all over the place both here and on Google and I can't find anything about it other than one other person asking the same question which remains unanswered. Anybody got any ideas? Am I just SOL without AP3? I don't see why the feature would show up on the app if my truck didn't have the right options to support it. I've even uninstalled the app and re-registered my phone with no luck.

 

It's a 2011 Silverado built 4/11 so it is definitely new enough to support the feature, so that's not the issue.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Assembling a Word Puzzle   A sentence in a famous sermon says:    “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them".   Forget it was a sermon and forget its religious nature. Assemble the puzzle. What did he say? I'm only going to unravel the part underlined.... Keep it simple and out of the ditch. It's a word puzzle not a religious class. I'm not writing a book. Okay..   By saying that people conscious of that stated need will receive; the implication is that there are also people that are not conscious and thus deprived.   But this one sentence also says that ALL people have this need, not just the ones aware of it.   NEED will try to lead you to satisfying it. You're thirsty, you seek water. You're hungry, you seek nourishment. You're cold, you find cover. Lack of awareness is a choice. So when he says "conscious' he isn't saying simply aware but aware and active in satisfying that need.    That's allot of information for eight words. This man knew how to craft a sentence...   Give that some thought the next time you read an advertisement or a book.

      Gas fill door

      My gas fill door does not stay closed. Not sure what happened, but it works its way to about a inch open every trip. Need a fix to this. 2020 Silverado 1500.
