I have 2017 Silverado. I installed the kit but but didn't get the green pin all the way before I took it to the dealer. Now I have a check engine light and a service security system light. Can this be cleared by the dealer or do I have a bigger problem? I tried to disconnect the battery but the code came back. The new remotes do work. Everything but the auto start. Please advise.

Thanks in Advance, Mark

It sounds like the ground wire connection in the cab is still not completely connected or the ground for the hood latch is not connected to the frame well enough I would check both of those along with the hood latch connector and then try to clear the codes.

so i just bought a 2018 custom . I looked at the hood latch and it already has the wiring harness hooked up to it.  So what next? buy some key fobs and run to dealer to get em programmed?

I also have a 2018 custom and would like to add remote start. It appears I have the hood latch and its plugged into the wiring kit but its strange that when I have the truck running and open the hood I don't get a dash notification. Do we just need keyfobs and programming or do we need the full 22997089 remote start kit?? I scanned the QR code for my trucks RPO codes and I dont see AQQ which I've seen other treads/sites mention was required so I'm just unsure how to proceed.

I have and 18 custom too and i noticed the hood latch already plugs in and was wondering how the remote start was going to tie in. Did you ever figure this out?

Not yet. I reached out to a local dealer and played dumb just inquiring about adding remote start. The parts guy didnt come off as very knowledgable and said he couldn't see it for my truck despite me logging into the chevrolet website searching my vehicles VIN and see the part as compatible. I didn't push it when him either and instead I reached out to dealer selling OEM parts on ebay and they checked my VIN and said it would work so I said F it and purchased the kit as it appears you need the activation code that comes with it despite not needing the other parts. I just received the kit in the mail actually so now I need to start calling more local dealers and see if anyone can install it and knows what the heck it takes. From what I see its just a BCM program and learning the two new oem keyfobs to the truck.

 

How about you any luck yourself? or just sitting back waiting?

If you already have the wired hood latch, you just don't use the latch the kit is the same for all 2014 up, regardless.  I threw the latch away since my '17 had one.  Programming and key fobs, that's it.  I did it but I have GM software, find a shop with up to date subscriptions and knowledge or take it to the dealer.

Good deal I didn’t do this yet I’m waiting till closer to winter but I’ll get it done. Good to know I don’t need to wire anything up it’s just all programming by the dealer that I need

I got mine done Friday. Paid an arm and a leg to the dealer to get it done. They had it for the entire day and even though the latch was there and wired they had problems and GM told them to replace the latch with the one in my kit. Not sure if it it was faulty or what. Either way I'm loving the remote start.

Custom18,

 

Did the dealer quote you an amount before doing the work or did they just charge you time until they were done? I am looking at doing this for my 2016 WT and was quoted 275+tax for part and however long it takes to do the work.  The last one they did was 3 hours and I just feel that is a little excessive for what they are doing.  Does anybody have thoughts on how long this should take? I have seen some say the whole thing should take less than 1.5 hours.

I recently bought a 2018 custom without remote start. Enjoyed having it on my 2014 so I added it to the 2018 for $425 parts and labor (1.5hr) from the dealership. Only issue I’m having is setting up the remote start with the Onstar mobile app. The Onstar rep says it should be no issue and they’re working on it, along with the dealership. It’s going on week 3, but it still comes in hand with Texas heat.

I don’t have to worry about Onstar working, wasn’t in the truck to start with.  If my dealer would do that deal I wouldn’t be posting about it.  Unfortunately I am having to check with nearby dealerships to see if they can offer closer to what you paid.  My dealer wants to charge $420 just for the install.  Thank you for the labor time and price you paid.  It really helps.

1.5 Hours is very fair, especially if they had to install the latch.  Setting, up logging in, etc and the BCM update takes an hour alone, maybe a little less even for somebody proficient.  I wouldn't charge less than 2 if I did it again.

So if we have the hood latch harness, all we would need is fobs and programming??

    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
