Remote Start - Ap8

[unit731]

What exactly is needed to get this to work?

 

My neighbor got two GM FOB's. He has offered me the 2nd one.

 

Can the GM dealer use/reprogram this 2nd FOB for my truck that has code AP8?

 

Is it the FOB that is programed or the truck? Are there specific numbers on the FOB that have to be programed into my truck or is it just the truck module that will read any correct remote start FOB that I bring to dealer?

 

What is the process to activate?

"The only way to enable (unlock) the remote start feature on an AP8 equipped GM vehicle is to obtain a VCI code thru GM.

Once unlocked any vehicle correct remote keyless transmitter can be mated to the vehicle and will work.

 

The problem is that the only way GM will give out a VIN specific VCI code is with the purchase of KIT #GM part #19154444

 

 

In other words; there is no way around the purchase of this kit if you would like to enjoy the factory remote start feature."
