2-Way Remote Start and Door Lock Transmitter Package Installation AP3

19156555

This kit is designed to add 2-way remote start with extended range and enhanced functionality. It is for vehicles equipped with remote vehicle start from the factory (vehicles with option code AP3). If the vehicle is not equipped with, but is prepped for remote vehicle start, use a kit for vehicles equipped with option code AP8. No kits are available for vehicles with the AU0 option (not prepped for or equipped with remote vehicle start).

Important: Please review this entire procedure before trying to perform it.

1. Using the scan tool, perform the copy and paste TPM Information procedure. This will extract the TPM tire type information as well as the sensor data from the existing RCDLR prior to its replacement and store this information in the scan tool. After RCDLR replacement, the tire type and sensor data stored in the scan tool is written to the new RCDLR, negating the need to perform the tire type setup and sensor learn procedure. This must be performed BEFORE removing the old RCDLR. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Programming and Setup.
2. Remove the factory remote control door lock receiver antenna. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Antenna Replacement
3. Physically replace the factory remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) with the 2-way RCDLR included in the kit. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Replacement. Do not program or reassemble yet.
4. Remove the rear window shelf trim panel. Refer to Rear Window Shelf Trim Panel Replacement. The antenna adheres to the bottom surface.



5. Peel back the foam pad (2) and remove the adhesive from the rear window shelf trim panel where the antenna (1) will be mounted and the antenna cable will be secured.

Important: The adhesion promoter must be used to assure adequate bonding of the antenna.

6. Apply adhesion promoter GM P/N 12378462 (Canadian P/N 10953554) to the panel in the areas where you will secure the antenna and antenna cable. Follow the Adhesion Promoter instructions on the product label. Use a=20 mm (13/16 in), b=360 mm (14 3/16 in), and c=11 mm (7/16 in) for the dimensions on the figure.

Important: 

•	Position the antenna according to the figure provided.

•	Do not touch the adhesive pad on the antenna.

7. Remove the protective film from the adhesive pad on the antenna.
8. Align the antenna according to the figure, using a=20 mm (13/16 in), b=360 mm (14 3/16 in), and c=11 mm (7/16 in).
9. Press firmly all along the antenna, including all four corners of the adhesive pad, in order to ensure proper adhesion to the panel.
10. Hold pressure on the antenna for 10-30 seconds.
11. Secure the antenna cable to the panel with one adhesive wire wrap (3).
12. Secure the foam pad (2) to the trim panel.



13. Route the antenna cable down to the rear compartment through the clearance hole in the center of the rear window panel (1).
14. Reassemble the rear window shelf trim panel. See Rear Window Shelf Trim Panel Replacement.



15. Connect the antenna to the 2-Way RCDLR.

Important: Excess antenna cable length must be looped in a "figure 8" no less than 100 mm (4 in) length for the best performance of the system.

16. Loop the excess antenna cable length into a "figure 8" at least 100 mm (4 in) long and secure the cable to the rear window panel wiring harness with four tie wraps (1).
17. Reassemble. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Antenna Replacement.
18. Program the 2-way RCDLR. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Programming and Setup. Program the 2-way transmitter and the vehicle factory transmitters to the 2-way RCDLR.
19. Turn the ignition off for 1 minute
20. Turn the ignition on.
21. Using the scan tool, retrieve any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from all of the modules.
22. Clear all DTCs.
23. Remove the scan tool.
24. Operate the 2-way and factory transmitters in order to verify correct system operation. Refer to Keyless Entry System Description and Operation. Press a command button with the vehicle ignition ON in order to synchronize the 2-way transmitter clock to the vehicle clock.
25. Drive the vehicle at least one mile above 25 mph. This is to synchronize the 2-way transmitter odometer display to the vehicle odometer and update the tire pressure displays.
26. Add the transmitters to the customer key rings.
27. Place the 2-way Advanced Remote Start owner manual in instrument panel compartment.
28. Keep the vehicle dry. Allow 6-8 hours, at 15°C (60°F), for the antenna adhesive to cure after installation.

2-Way Remote Start and Door Lock Transmitter Package Installation AP8

17802071

This kit is designed to add 2-way remote start with extended range and enhanced functionality. It is for vehicles not equipped with but prepped for remote vehicle start from the factory, for vehicles with option code AP8. If the vehicle is equipped with remote vehicle start, use a kit for a vehicle equipped with option code AP3. To add remote vehicle start, the vehicle needs to be reconfigured. This is done with a service programming system (SPS). The installer needs to call the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC). The TCSC will ask for the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the authorization code from the kit. The call and authorization code are good for only one specific VIN.

No kits are available for vehicles with the AU0 option (not prepped for or equipped with remote vehicle start).

Important: Please review this entire procedure before trying to perform it.

Important: When calling the TCSC, you must use the Authorization Code from the kit.

1. Verify the vehicle has the AP8 option and an automatic transmission. Call TCSC 1-800-828-6860 (English), 800-503-3222 (French), or 248-265-0840 (Spanish) to obtain programming instructions to add the remote start feature. You must have the vehicle identification number (VIN) that will be upgraded and the authorization code from the kit.
