Factory Command Start

n00bfest · December 30, 2013

Hey all, i live in canada and i have a 2014 LTZ Silverado with factory command start. Just wondering if anyone has gotten that module from on-star or from GM that allows you to start more than twice before u have to go out and start it? If anyone has details about it price, what exactly it does it would be much appreciated. I spent 56k on this truck i should be allowed to start my truck as many times as i want.

Where did you hear about this 'module' from GM? Reputable source?

I command started my truck twice with remote one night, then the next morning i tried starting it nothing worked. Tried the On-star app on my phone and a message came up, that i should contact On-star or a dealer about the Long distance module. Ill try and get the message again and maybe snap a screen pic of it.

I would suggest reading the manual. It is very clear on the operation of the auto start..

It talks about the fact you can't start the truck more than twice in it? I'll take a peek at the book later today.

Yes its covered in the manual along with how to ext the run time tho I don't know if that counts as a 2ed start

So did you leave you keys in the ignition like the message indicates?

When you remote start with key chain, it starts your vehicle and leaves it running for 10 minutes. You can extend the running time by pressing the lock button again and the remote start button again for a

additional 10 minutes running time. Total 20 minutes running time.

I haven't had any issues with the OnStar app starting my truck either.

No my truck starts fine with the keys and/or my phone 2 times. Its just that it can't be command started 3 times in a row. I have to actually go to the truck and start it with the keys after the 2nd time. Call me lazy or whatever, it just seems really inconvenient.

Well, that's just the way it is. 2 times and 20 minutes. No way around it.

GM f!@#$d up.

I stayed with the GM 2 way factory in my 2010 and I'm sick of it. The aftermarket was more advanced in 2005 than GM is... on my Clifford you could program everything run times, automatic timer starts, everything.

I put an aftermarket one in my 2010 and plan to do the same with the new one . Sorry but here in the winter, 20 minutes doesn't even defrost the windshield......

They limit the time for liability reasons. My aftermarket one runs for 45 minutes. And it works more than 200 feet away.

i would think they only allow 2 times in case it is being started by accident or by kids, etc.... Would you want it to keep being started and run out of gas? Did GM really mess up or are you just being a little too picky......
