That truck is set up for it...

 

My opinions on it-

 

#1 It sucks. the range sucks, the runtime sucks.

 

#2 I upgraded mine to the Large remote with the screen. The remote is huge, the clock is wrong due to my aftermarket radio, there is a large antenna mounted to the inside of my rear window, and the range STILL sucks.

 

#3 If you are going to do it, just BUY IT FROM THE DEALER unless you have already made sure the dealer will be OK with the install.

I asked my dealer if they would do it and he just said "would you buy a steak at a grocery store and bring it to the restaurant?" they gave me a good price on it and it's their problem if something happens (the first remote GM sent had no paperwork and it was unusable)

 

DEI aftermarket units start at $199 installed here and I had a Clifford unit on my last truck 1 mile range, LCD screen, etc for $400 I wish I had that back!

The range for mine is good. Wish it had a longer run time. My remote start was added at the time of delivery, and was a condition of the sale. If you have AP8 you are ready to have it installed.

I plan on going to dealer to have it done my question now is can I order the remote fob with the code that is needed online to not pay full price at the dealer?

You can add remote start for aroud 80 dollars using dei dball and their obd t hardness. It is plug in and turn your key for the dball module to be introduced to your can bus systems. This setup yses your oem fob and activates with three lock button presses. The viper remotes have great range but are extremly fragile. You can also add dei eange extender to use your phone.

You Can but like I said some dealers are extreme jerks about it... I'd just make sure they aren't going to give you shit about it or flat out refuse to install it just to be jerks.....is it the selling dealer? If so get the salesman involved they can usually get you a discount on the part or make sure they won't screw with you over buying it online and bringing it in...... Let us know how it turns out....

Sorry don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but.....I purchased my truck (2013 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax) used from an individual last year. It has the AP3 code (not AP8 or AP7), but it does have the remote start button on both (factory) key fobs. It isn't working, does nothing. I figured the key fob may have to be programmed, but every web search i've seen is something different than what my truck has. Does the AP3 code not have what is needed to have and use remote start?? If not, what's missing?   Thanks for any help on this matter.

 

AP3 LOCK CONTROL REMOTE, KEYLESS ENTRY, STAR                                                                                                 
AP7 LOCK CONTROL, ENTRY REMOTE, KEYLESS START, PASSIVE                                                                                  
AP8 LOCK CONTROL, REMOTE ENTRY, EXTENDED RANGE

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
