Universal Remote Non-Functional

[Classic-Chevy-Guy]

My 2025 is at the port and will be delivered in the next few weeks.

The window sticker has a $50 credit stating the Universal Remote Non Functional.

Does anyone have any insight on the issue and will GM fix in the future?

Thanks

If they give a credit, I doubt they will fix it in the future. I imagine it is a supply issue with the remote garage door opener.

It's my understanding most manufacturers are phasing out the remote openers and forcing folks to use an app on their phones instead. That's one of the reasons we have a 2024 Premier.

I had a $50 credit due to missing chip for the heated seats. They installed the chip when they were available and did not ask for the $50 back lol

That's awesome! Hopefully they are doing the same things now.

I sure hope they can financially recover over these $50 credits.

with interest, that $50 is now $53, almost 3 years later

My ‘25 RS also has the $50 credit on the window sticker and I cannot find any options in the infotainment system for it. I mentioned this to my salesman when buying the car and he had no idea if or when they would ever activate it and actually wasn’t even aware of it until I brought it up and pointed it out on the window sticker.
No biggie really I just threw my garage door opener on the visor like the good old days

We just picked up our 2025 and I was amazed that there was no integrated garage door opener. Of course we will use the one that came with the opener, but is there some sort of an upgrade package (aftermarket or whatever) that I can install to get the feature back?

The article listed below indicated that there will be an over-the-air update in Q1 of 2025 adding these features. I believe that if you lookup the Owner's Manual for the Equinox EV, it will show how it works.
