Basically I'd like to add remote start to my truck. I know I don't have the ap8 code but I've heard of others being about to add remote start to their WT's.
I tried programming a genuine remote start fob to the truck. I was able to get the door lock/ unlock to work but when I tried the remote start button all it did was turn on the courtesy lamps.
I've looked at the available kits but it would seem my truck has all of those things already.
I'm half tempted to just buy some remotes with the 3 digit code and take it to the dealer and have them at least try. Then if it dont work I return the kit.
Anyone else been able to add factory remote start to their WT?
Funny you should mention Ben. I'm actually talking to him on another Duramax forum. My problem is that the truck that I'm posting about is a work truck. I use it everyday and it has all of my tools in it and it has to roll down the road. So being out of commission hurts a lot. It just got out of the dealer for water pump outlet pipe that was deteriorating internally.
So I borrowed a friends to more today. Programmed it to my truck using my Verus. Went through the sequence for remote start and the lights flashed. But No start.
So my guess is that it will work as long as the bcm is flashed.
There may be hardware differences in the trucks that have AP3 or AP8 RPO codes. For remote start the truck has a hood switch that wont allow it to remote start without the hood being closed. It also monitors the hazard switch to ensure that the hazards are not on. I am not sure that the work trucks or trucks without the AP8 RPO codes have the hardware required monitor all of the parameters that remote start has to see before it will allow the truck to start.
Any luck @Wyley87 ? I have the AP8 RPO but they no longer sell the kit from what I understand.
