Just got my Pontiac 2008 G8- Does anybody have a problem with using the automatic starter on your keychain. then when getting in the car, the air conditioning only works when inserting the key? Is this a defect in the design or should I bring it back to the dealer?

Press lock button 2 times and then remote start. On the A/C question....yes you would have to have the key in the car just like any other car for the climate controls to work. If its hot out, the a/c will turn on automatically with remote start, no matter what you have the setting set at and with no key in the ignition. Hope this helps.
