I installed the gm OEM remote start kit on my truck this weekend and figured I would post this to assist anyone installing the kit

 

Here are GM's instructions

After you remove the front sigh shield you must replace the hood latch, It is held on with 2 bolts. The red arrows point at the bolts you need to remove, the green arrow points to where the barbed zip tie fitting goes to secure the harness

[lawnboy-5247]

You then run the harness along the air dam attaching it with zip ties to the hood release cable, The branch with the ground lug drops down in front of the washer fluid bottle to a ground point on one of the motor mounts. The ground already has one wire on it and faces toward the front of the truck, you access the ground from underneath the truck.

next the harness runs along still following the hood release cable. The factory instructions say to only put the harness through 2 of the 3 clips on the side of the engine bay but I put it through all three, I then zip-tied between the clips

 

Green arrows are clips Red are where I zip tied

[lawnboy-5247]

Now you zip tie the harness to the main body harness, making sure there is a low spot to act as a drip loop and then cut a slit in the small upper protrusion on the grommet to prepare to run the wire through. the red arrow is where you cut the slit and the green arrow points to the remote start harness the zip tie is just below the green arrow. Normally there would be nothing else going in in the same place but I have also installed tow mirrors on my truck and those also go in through the same part of the grommet

[lawnboy-5247]

now you must remove the black box to get to the other side of the grommet, the other side of the grommet is located around where the green arrow is. The three red arrows are the 3 bolts that hold the junction box on.

[lawnboy-5247]

here you can see where the wire comes through into the cab. this is also where I stuck my tubing through in order to push the wire through the grommet

[lawnboy-5247]

Now you route the green wire to the black plug on the bcm and plug it into pin 24, pin 24 may or may not have a green and brown striped wire already in it that you will need to remove and tape back. The green arrow is pointing to the wire I removed and the red arrows point to the wire from the harness I connected in its place.

 

After this you are done accept for dealer programming and applying some automotive silicone sealer to the point where the harness enters the cab through the grommet to seal the cut you made.

 

I hope this helps some of you guys, If you have any other questions I will try to answer them

So this is all you need to have a remote start in these new trucks?

Yep that's it other than having the dealer program the fobs.

[lawnboy-5247]

Well I got the fobs and bcm programmed today for $100 and everything works great, I even got an added bonus. My truck did not originally come with the theft deterrent system equipped but now it is activated and functioning (it was obviously already installed but just needed to be turned on in the computer). I am unsure if this is the way the reprogram is supposed to be or if its an accident on the dealers part but either way i'm not complaining.

Is yours a work truck model? The standard cab long bed? I'm asking because that's what I bought a few months ago from car max and when I took it to the dealer to get my fobs programmed the tech told me they couldn't install the remote start and that I had to take it to an aftermarket shop. Guess I'm going to have to go to a new dealership!

Does your truck have Onstar Remote Link?  Mine has Onstar basic, but I don't pay for anything fancy.  Some descriptions mention  "For The Remote Start System To Be Compatible With The Onstar Remote Link System, The Vehicle Must Be Equipped, From The Gm Factory, With The Remote Start Feature."

Call a few dealers and find out. 

 

I asked my sales guy for a friend and he said if you have Onstar already, then you just have to call Onstar and have a reset done to enable the app.

also, a coworkers bf had it installed in his by the dealer when he purchased the truck, he got a WT model, and it works with the app.

OnStar gets data refreshes for their customers every 10 days.  As long as the remote start was programmed by the dealer and recorded to GM, onstar will get the data from GM and they will know if there is a change in the vehicle having remote start.
