Aftermarket push button start

Awesome. Even a mod going off topic. If you can't handle this system, that's up to you. Do you know any aftermarket offerings?

 

If you can't handle a little banter about a topic, you'll be frustrated here. We don't hold members to strict on-topic discussion, just civility. Yes, I do know of some aftermarket offerings. A co-worker wanted to install one in his Camaro. I spent a few hours looking around the net. There's more than a few out there that have done this to their cars. I don't personally know their security or installation difficulty. So, I'll not comment on them. He looked further into it and decided against it. Google it and you'll get more than this thread will bear. .

Hello folks, I'm new here and the owner of a 2015 high country 6.2. I would like to install a push to start kit but other than a lot of opinions I haven't read where someone actually did it. Please redirect me if it was answered or if someone has done it, what kit did you use? Where was it purchased? Thanks Iron Joe

To those who ask why, I have a keyless front door, keyless office door, and would like my truck to be the same. No keys in my pocket. With today's technology it could be your phone, a fob or a fob in your wallet like a credit card. Once you have used one for a week or two  you realize how nice it is. Coffee in one hand, briefcase in the other just grab the door handle and pull. no fishing through your pockets. Jacket with a million pockets no worries just open the door etc..... Overall I am surprised it is not a option

The push button start is nice and convenient, i personally like it. but turning a key gives you that engaging feel that is being lost on many modern cars/trucks. modern cars are losing that connected feeling of driving a car. pretty soon cars will be driving you..... oh wait.....

Perhaps no one has figured out this implementation?
Your turn ... let us know what you figure out.

Brining this back to the top as I've just picked up a 2018 LTZ and would really like the features associated with push to start. The shop I work at regularly programs new BCM & FCM modules using a web based service. I'd have to imagine that this is something that could be retrofitted using Tahoe, Suburban or Escalade factory components but I'm not entirely sure. I'll have a look at the operational side of things tomorow on prodemand and maybe reach out to the programing service and see if they can be of any help. Anyone with familiarity of the components/operation within the Tahoe, Suburban, and Escalade push start system have anything to add?

Has anyone installed any after market push button start systems in their truck? And if so, what system did you go with and why?

 

I'm seeing systems ranging from $70 to $800, hoping someone has done the legwork!

Has anyone actually answered the question you asked.  I am currently researching the same thing and before I make that purchase I was looking to see if there were any inputs on the functionality of it versus any issues that they have caused.  There are option I can see but I am more worried about how will it affect the other workings of the truck.  I am looking for this install because I respond to emergencies with my truck with local agencies and would like to be able to leave it running while taking the fob in my pocket to keep it locked, I am also looking to have the remote start function with it.  I see the reason to install a single unit that covers both the desires I have.
