Side note: A single drop of mercury floating between two contact points used to be used for this purpose back in the day. Until we all realized just how hazardous mercury can be.
1. Have the installer program the OEM 3x press start trick, or
2. Purchase a dumb blank with a programmable transponder and have it cut and programmed. There's a market for this for those who like to have a spare key around that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars if lost. This would be thinner than the OEM and you could just keep the OEM at home as a backup.
3. Use DroneMobile
#2 assumes non-push-button. Of course, check with your installer to determine your car's capabilities (and their own) or one of these other guys at least. None of those are mutually exclusive, but you do have to take into account the extra cost to purchase the blank and have it cut (and programmed if your car doesn't support self-programming) and the extra cost of drone mobile. Which is much better than it used to be BTW, but still flakey enough for me to always want a backup solution.

Has anyone had any trouble getting them to also program the OEM Key (3x lock press) to remote start the car?
I want them to do this, but hoping it's no extra charge for them to program this.

Actually, not at all last time I checked. I haven't been able to log in since their last big system update where you had to reset your password 😢

Alexa, Siri and G-Home will be re-released by the 2nd week of October. For now, they will not work with Drone.
Thank you.

I thought about suggesting that but I didn't feel qualified enough to list all the problems that I'm sure would come up.

still not working.
But if nothing is working... they must be having issues of some kind. It's suppose to.
