    Since you bought the kit, you have the directions that literally tell the dealer what to do. Take a copy of that to the service manager and show him so that he can walk his way through the process.

    Not sure how much money and time you have spent on this, but a new steering wheel with all the controls and associated harness is like 95 bucks new from the dealer and takes maybe 5 minutes to change out. If you dont have factory cruise you can change the clock spring out to one made for cruise and then add the new wheel to gain the radio controls. Cruise must be "turned on" in the bcm by a dealer willing to do so.

    You essentially just get new fobs, but the accessory kit that GM sell comes with both fobs and the special code that becomes associated with your truck allowing this feature to be turned on permanently and not turned off if the body control module is reflashed. p/n 17801236 from GMpartsdirect.com currently is 128.31 and you will pay less than an hundred buck for the dealer to program it. Call the dealer with that p/n and see if they can beat/match the price.

    +1 million here. The OP mentions a slow acceleration time in traffic, etc. This is the programming in the ECM. Do a Blackbear tune and you will be very amazed.

    I switched the AP3 and AP8 codes in my reply above. (now fixed) AP8 is the prep. code. AP3 is what AP8 becomes with the upgrade kit, as referenced by the included glove box decal stating that the dealer has installed remote start and ap8 has been replaced by ap3. AP3 does not mean advanced remote start, just normal remote start.

    I know exactly what this is because I have the same thing on my truck. AP8 is the remote start prep that came on it from the factory. AP3 is what the RPO code became after the dealer installed the accessory remote start. When I added remote start to my truck via pn 17801236, it came with that very decal you see and it was affixed to the glove box RPO decal to let those in the future know it was upgraded to remote start. Go buy a key fob and have it programmed.
