Standard Remote Start for 2010 1LT

What's up guys? Does anyone know which remote start comes with the 2010 malibus? I just got a 1LT last weekend and the dealership seems to have lost the remote keyless entry and start contollers. My car has the Power Convinience Package and I think its an AP3 remote vehicle starter system.

The dealership is going to get me some new ones and looking at the 2010 Malibu brochures it says the regular remote start is for "LS Only" which makes me thing that the new Malibus come with the 2-Way Advanced Remote. GMaccessories.com has the regular at $156 and the 2-Way (AP3) for $120...

I am supposed to get all my an extra key made and the 2 remote starts so I want to know if I should be getting the 2-Way because I think it is cooler.

I just had remote start installed at my GM dealer a few weeks back in my 2010 LS. It took them less than a hour, it was 245.00 installed. I would not let some local shop like Best Buy etc hack up my harness to add a aftermarket for this price.
It works great.
Wow, that's good to know! Thanks for sharing that info!
My car is also a Fleet car so it has no onstar. I can dig up my invoice and provide the part number if someone is interested in having it done. I just contacted my dealer and gave them the vin #. I scheduled to have it done, and like I said they were done with it in less than an hour. The service adviser told me the just need to turn the option on by flashing the car and program the new remotes. I thought it was pretty slick.
I wasn't going to argue with success but it's starting to make sense. So, the vehicle in question is a fleet (ZA in VIN positions 4 and 5) which was ordered remote start ready (RPO code AP8). I doubt a regular LS would be that easy.
I just looked at my Registration, my vin does have (ZA) just like you stated. I was under the impression that they all could be done?? The service advisor said they do them all the time. This is from a very large dealer here in West Michigan (Berger Chevrolet). I also just checked my invoice and the p/n used was 17800737.
