Need Help With Factory Remote Start


Recommended Posts

Posted

I got a factory remote start fob for Christmas (from gmpartsdirect.com). Finally had time to get it installed, but after a cpl hours the dealer said they couldn't get it programmed and that my truck is not remote start ready. However, I think this is 100% false. We ran my VIN at a local dealer by my parents before ordering and they said it was good to go AND I have RPO code AP8. Is there something I am missing? The only thing I'm thinking is maybe we ordered the wrong fob. The one my parents ended up ordering for me was part number 20869053. Is this the wrong one? I am now thinking this was the one that should have been ordered - part number 17801236.

 

Thanks
