Yes, but you can't buy it all separately...the kit comes with latch, fobs and programming code.  You're buying the code, no way around that not for a dealer or anyone.

Only reason I asked was to save me from the labor, so I guess it might take 30 mins-1 hour most for programming from the dealer. What do I say when I go to the dealer? I feel like they will BS me and say they need to do other stuff

Honestly they're gonna do what they want and probably be hard-headed if you dictate the process...probably call a couple and get a quote if you don't know any service advisors.

My local dealer insists on ordering the kit themselves. $400 for kit and install. 

Way too much in my opinion

They are gonna get my $400. Remote start is the feature I miss the most from my last truck. Its hot 10 months out of the year down here. I used the feature every day and will be doing so again very soon.

Mine quoted $475 and said it would be an additional $200+ if it needed the latch.  I can buy the kit for $200, with the latch, need to call around and see if they'll agree to program without the install.

That is highway robbery, I know the kit is like $200 or $235 on the Chevy website. Damn dealerships are not fair

I finally got my factory remote start and keyless entry completed yesterday.  Had to travel about 30 miles away but the dealership was waiting for me and completed it while I waited.  Was in and out in less than 2 hours.  The total for everything was $441.  Which was much better than the $700+ my local dealership was wanting to charge.  Thanks for all of the input from everybody.  Really helped make this a smooth process.  As a bonus I found a really nice dealership that actually believes in helping the customer.

I Installed my hood latch (which is a 2 wire setup, my old latch was a 3 wire) and now I have a check engine light on with a DTC for "hood ajar sensor voltage high" which typically indicates an open circuit. Should I reinstall the original latch? My truck is a 2018. I     ot the remotes to work on the locks.

Do you have to replace the latch on a 18 2500HD? Chevy has the kit at $275.00, am wondering if it’s worth doing myself or having the dealer do it.

Have a couple questions.Already have the latch installed and harness all the way into the cab and zip tied to the wires on the black plug where the green wire plugs in.  Just need to plug it in.

 

How do you get the wire out that is already in the plug?  I have a few pin extractors but dont see how to get it out.  Never fooled with that kind of plug.

 

And my truck is very low and I am not able to get under the truck quickly.  Ramps are too high and havent jacked it up.  Is there another place to ground the harness?  Or can you see it from the top at all? I looked and looked and didnt see it.  Will be putting it on a buddies lift soon to do some other stuff and will get it then if I dont find anything else sooner.

I installed the kit myself and just need to program the fobs....the dealership wants $180 just to program the fobs....yikes!

I called a local locksmith and they want $75.....i'm assuming its the same thing? they said they can program the keyfobs, so I guess i'll give it a shot...??

 

***DISREGARD*** HAS TO BE DEALER DUE TO PROGRAMMING- thanks

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
