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

    • 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
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
