The 2020 Chevy Equinox LT trim offers remote start as part of the optional Confidence & Convenience package. This addendum to the trim costs $2,045. In addition to remote start, the Confidence & Convenience package includes:

• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Heated front seats
• Blind spot monitoring
• Rear parking sensors
• Rear cross traffic alert

ok mine does not have all that just the remote start so back to my question how can i find out what kind it has

If you do not have the C&C package, remote start is not available.

You have “proximity” start-within range of your FOB. You do not have remote start.

i understand that but it also has remote start i will do a video sometime tomorrow

The remote start option has to be added and installed by the dealer. Needs programming and FOBs if I remember

A couple on internet searches yield that there is ONLY remote start. Usually 200 feet with key fob, and farther if via Chevy app.

I know people that have had their remote start installed by the dealership. I am guessing that you may be out of luck as far as remote starting with your phone app.
