Subject: Bulletin ACC08-020 - New Accessory! Dealer-Installed 2-Way Advanced Remote Start
Message #: VSE20080443


DESCRIPTION:
Introducing the innovative 2-Way Advanced Remote Start. Now available for select GM vehicles (see below for detailed vehicle application information). The 2-Way Advanced Remote Start allows customers to upgrade their factory keyless entry or factory remote start systems to provide enhanced functionality. In addition to extended range remote keyless entry*, extended range remote vehicle start, and standard functions like door lock/unlock, vehicle locator/panic alarm and power liftgate open/close (if vehicle is equipped), this new accessory also features technology that allows 2-way communication between the key fob transmitter and the vehicle.

The key fob transmitter provides immediate visual and audio confirmation that a key fob command (like start vehicle, lock/unlock doors, etc.) was received. The large, easy-to-read LCD screen displays status/data when within range of the vehicle such as Fuel Level, Tire Pressure, Odometer Reading (accurate within 1 mile), Clock/Remote Start Countdown Timer, and Key Fob Battery Life Indicator. Customers with vehicles equipped with steering wheel controls (UK3) can even scroll through their pre-set radio stations.**

* Up to three times as far as factory remote keyless entry
** excludes HHR and G6


EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately for all vehicles listed below except HHR. The 2-Way Advanced Remote Start for HHR will be available shortly.


QUALIFICATIONS:
Fits specific makes/models (see below for details).


ORDER INPUT:
Orders can be placed through your local Accessory Distributor Installer (ADI), or through your Parts Department to be charged against the open parts account.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
Antenna location varies by vehicle make/model.
Key fob can be programmed to control a second vehicle if that vehicle is also equipped with 2-Way Advanced Remote Start.
If reprogrammed, factory key fobs remain operational (except HHR & G6; 2-Way Advanced Remote Start kits for these vehicles include one new factory-style key fob to replace the factory fob).
To preserve battery life of the 2-Way Advanced Remote Start key fob transmitter, the image on the screen remains illuminated for approximately 5 seconds. To recall image to the screen, simply press any button once. To illuminate backlighting, press one of the side buttons once.

Hey-

I have a 2007 LTZ and am interested in adding this 2 way remote #19157237 (I've checked and I believe I have the right part number).

The Whole purpose in adding this remote is 2 fold: 1) to increase the distance to which I can start my Tahoe vs the currently installed factory version.... and 2) be able to get it to run FOR MORE THAN THE 5 MINUTES it is currently programmed for....

At any rate.... My questions are these... Can I install this myself (currently I am mechanically inclined enough to know I need to ask first...)? I understand I have to go to the dealer to program the system.... But, will the current 5 minute "Time-Out" be changed when the new 2 way remote is reprogrammed?

It makes "NO SENSE" to me to be able to start the Tahoe from farther away, if I have to go back out AGAIN to have it start for another 5 minutes !!

.. I live in Alaska people.. 5 minutes was fine when I lived in California, but in Alaska I need at least 10 to 15 minutes to start my car and have it warm up when it is 10' outside.

Any (reasonable) suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you. I appreciate you very much,

J

iirc all that is changed is the rcdlr and a larger antenna is installed. the dealer will have to do the reprogramming events as the updated program must added to the dealer server for your build. you get one 2way remote but they can program your old fobs so they will still work.


not sure on the run time.

I did find out 1 thing.... the Dealer was able to confirm that the run time will change to 10 minutes... then you can restart for another 10... but after that... you will have to use the key itself to start and then drive the Tahoe.

Anyone have another system that works better? Or something that beats what GM offers?

Thanks

J
