How-To: Remote Start Install and Options (Includes Some 2014 K2 Info).

[hzhardy]

I have been wanting to do this tome truck for a while. I have done a few of these in other vehicles, but now is the time to do mine.

I am installing a viper 5204 remote start with alarm ($99 dollars refurbished with one year manufactures warranty) with a Xpresskit DB-ALL ($50 dollars) with RF loop harness ($10 dollars).

The DB-ALL interfaces into you vehicles computer systems and allows many features to be used with out wiring for instance your door locks, heated seats and more. The module has to be programed specifically for your vehicle. Many online retailers offer free programing but you may not be able to specify options or you can't verify they did what you asked.

Select standard flash is you are installing a remote start alarm, or rsr if you want to enable remote start from factory fob with 3 lock sequences

above are the options for heated seats, since my truck does not have a temp sensor that i know of i set it to be always turned on to high

select flash and it will say sucess as above. once my crimps come in i will continue this thread.

depinned the excess and soldered everything wire to wire. i was actually missing the 2 voltage input and had to add those in

[hzhardy]

taped the harness up and crimped soldered on the connector to insert into the junction block. if you look at the body builder manual from gmupfitters.com some of the terminals location list rpo codes for different options. if your truck does not have that option the cavity will be empty and usable for what ever you are adding. this gets harder with loaded models as they have many of those options taking up those spots.
