Hello, 

I purchased a 2023 Sierra that doesn’t have remote start. I’d like to have this feature added so that I can use the GM app to start via my phone. 
Does anyone know if this is something the dealer can install? 
 

Thanks..

Don't know if there is a way for you to do it, but the order guide says the (BTV) remote start is included and only available with WPB Graphite Edition on 2023 1500 Pro.

 

All other trims it shows as standard.

Thanks! I do have the Sierra Pro. Not a graphite edition. Hopefully the dealer can help but research seems to indicate it might not be possible. It sure would be nice to have the capability to start my truck from a remote location!

I added it to a 2013 a few years ago the actual GM one, I had to get the Programming done at the dealer but other than that it was just 2 new fobs,

The dealer may know less than anyone, mine initially said it was not possible but it was I just had to research it and figure it out.

I bet a BCM tweak and a fob and you would  be there.

Well, I do have a powered tailgate lock (something I prefer not to have) so I guess that one probably won’t work.  Also, it doesn’t say if it has the capability to remote start from my phone, which is the option I really need. 
Unfortunate it has to be so difficult to figure out what the dealership can install. I tried calling. No help. The service department had no idea! They finally passed me to the parts department who kept me on hold for 30 min. Never got to talk with anyone. I’ll have to keep trying dealerships until I find one that knows what they are supposed to know:)

You are going to have to wait for a GMC kit to come out.  Right now there's only one listed for the Chevrolet trucks.  I checked the engineering notes too hoping to find a # to use on GMC but there is nothing yet.  

 

App remote start won't work without installing the accessory remote start kit.  Truck needs the programming, then it takes about 2 weeks for the onstar data to refresh and then the app will allow remote starting.

I had factory remote start installed on one of our vehicles we had years ago and I called onstar to have it added and they did it right then, it took about 2hrs to see it on the app.

Thank you! Excellent information. I contacted a GMC dealer today who was helpful. Of course he wanted to know where I bought the truck. Then he blamed it on my salesman for not programming the GM app for me. I don’t think I even have have anything to program to the app with this truck. It doesn’t have onstar or anything on the window sticker resembling an app feature. 
Ultimately, the dealership informed me that’s there’s nothing available at this time. Exactly as you’re describing.
I suppose there’s an aftermarket possibility but it’s probably best to wait for GM. This isn’t a new model design so I don’t know what takes so long, or if they will even make one for that matter.

Oh good!!! If you stumble across a part number please let me know. The last conversation with my dealer it was not available. That was a couple months ago.

If you don't have OnStar, you'll never be able to use the GM app to do remote start. It is required for that part to work. There are aftermarket remote starts that use apps for starting, but a dealer will most likely deny any warranty on anything wiring related if an aftermarket remote start is installed. GM is SUPER picky about that stuff anymore.

It can be ordered for factory install.

Somebody spec'd that truck to get low price.

Not available according to my dealer, but that was 2 months ago. It was definitely ordered that way to keep the price down! I appreciate that, but would at least like the option to add the accessories that I want.

      OK you say you could hang meat but what was the actual temp? One of the AC systems job is to remove humidity that we feel on our body your new system removed alot of humidity as that is were the water comes from on the ac coils and that made it feel colder. 80 degrees with high humidity will feel hot vs 80 degrees with low humidity will feel alot cooler.

      I was using recirc/max air. Especially if it really hot i start out by lowering the front windows a little with regular ac the go to recirculation after a few and rolling windows up. And it does not have the newest refrigerant. It has per the info under the hood r134. Not the new r1234yf.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.
