I have a 2007 Tahoe that did not come with the remote start option. Did GM prewire the vehicle so I can add the factory style remote start? I hate aftermarket anything and would prefer to get the factory remote start if I can.

 

If I can get it does anyone have a part number or price? Is it easy to install or will the dealer need to do it?

 

Thanks.

I am researching this same question. I bought a FOB w/ Remote Start off of Ebay that is designed for my NBS 07 Siverado. The GM accessory kit says "with RPO AP8" that is extended range keyless entry. I have been able to programs this FOB to work the doors but there is no relearn for the remote start as it is not there from the factory. I asked my Chevy Dealer about a "VCI" ??? that this kit references. There is no module for the remote start listed. The BCM is also the same for all models. It seems to me that everything is present and needs to be activated but I have yet to have a GM Tech tell me that.

Can anyone here research this? It is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi guys, I want to get a remote start FOB off EBay too but I have the same question. I do have RPO code AP8 but I don't know if it will be plug and play from there. The kit on gmpartsdirect says it comes with the VCI programming needed to upgrade the remote start system? Does this mean I can't just buy a used FOB that has the remote start and program it myself? Thanks!

You have to buy the kit and then the dealer must reprogram the truck. A new key fob won't give you remote start.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
