Remote start question

[IAFF78]

Good evening all!!

I remember on my old trailblazer I was able to buy a remote start add on that worked using the factory keyfob. I'm looking to buy a remote start system for my current vehicle but am having trouble finding just the "add on" feature. I'm happy with the factory alarm and dont feel like carrying around another keyfob on my key chain. Does anyone know if this feature still exist and if so, who makes it. I believe my old one was made by DEI.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

most newer remote starts have all the same options as the factory keyfob with longer range. why keep the factory fob when you can double the range and have a nicer one?

We have a big thread on remote starters somewhere on here. If I can dig it up, I'll link it.

One major complaint about our key fob is that the approach angles are not practical due to the receiver being in the lift gate as opposed to say on the front dash.

I've debated remote starts living in Colorado and if I ever do get one, I'm wanting one with a different fob. I like being different (all Chevy keys & fobs are identical).

Do you have an alarm or just lock/unlock?

The one I just did retains factory arm and disarm while using another fob. Better range too. It all interfaces with the truck, minimal wire tapping.

Could we get a link for this please? I am looking for one that is easy to install. I do not want to mess with the wiring too much (already have enough )

Fortin Int-sl+ is what I used for my bypass interface and an ultrastructure remote start unit. Runs over the canbus/obd2 system. 4 wires for the bypass and 6 for the start module I believe.

It'll be limited, but you'll still be soldering wires to the ignition harness. It's really not a tough job if you're organized.
