I'll start by saying that I live outside the US, so I can't visit a professional Chevy dealership :)

I've googled various topics a lot, but I haven't found a solution.

My simple question is: does an aftermarket remote start kit also add keyless entry function to a regular work truck?
My truck is a 2008 Silverado with powerlocks, but without factory keyless entry (AU3 & 5B5 Build Codes).
My idea is to install this:

 

The question is, will installing this kit(or similar) also give me keyless entry for my truck?
The sellers of various aftermarket kits have given different answers, saying that if I order long range remotes in addition, I will get keyless entry, but has anyone tried that?
I don't want to find out by trying :)


Here are some links where I've asked for information:

The 2nd one, from 12volt.solutions, getting the long-range remote looks like it would also work, but again, IDK for sure.

 

The 3rd one, from jsalarms.com, also might work by adding the long-range remotes.

Ive got jsalarms answer: If you do not have factory remotes you will need to add the CA1 add on remotes. IF your doors are power it should lock and unlock them. 

 

I really hope that there is someone somewhere who has faced the same problem and found a solution :D
So that someone who has installed it can confirm it 😉
