I've contacted my local auto electronics shop about installing a aftermarket remote start on my H3T. Has anyone run into any issues having one installed on theirs? He said in 09 gm changed something that required a data link connector in order to install a remote start. My main concern is the amount of cutting and splicing of the factory harness to install.

I installed one but it is on my list to remove it. Battery life and short wireless range and I never use the remote start anymore. Was my original way to bypass the Passlock problem.

Don't do it! Nothing but pain. I was able to buy a 2007 for pennies on the dollar simply because a guy had one installed and couldn't get rid of the gremlins.

My main reason for wanting remote start is cars in my neighborhood tend to drive off while warming up. And a newborn that doesn't need to be in the cold too much. But it sounds like my being cold for five minutes isn't worth butchering my H3T.

What about just a keyless entry? I don't have an electronic unlocker or whatever it's called was wondering how complicated it is to ad one Gm or aftermarket?

Really easy I bought a flip key off eBay, had it cut at a hardware store and programmed at dealer. I have a tech 2 but I haven't been able to figure out how to program keys yet so dealer was only option.

Do our keys have chips in them? Never mind I answered my own question when I went to Ace Hardware and got a key made for $4

I have had one on my T for the life of the unit... only problem I have ever had with it is the remote unit itself had a poor design and over time the connection to the key ring would break and so now the remote cannot be on a key ring.... I put up with it since I would much rather have a remote start!

I simply trot out side unlock H3 start it lock with spare key and go back inside lol.
It's cheaper than auto start and keeps the neighborhood thugs from taken it.

I installed a remote start keyless entry on my ‘07. Only issue I’ve ever had is sometimes it won’t work properly if I lock doors with keyless entry remote. If I lock doors with button on door it works every time. It’s a Viper system
