2-Way Remote Start and Door Lock Transmitter Package Installation AP8 Except Avalanche/Escalade EXT

Accessories Part Number

17802071 or 19157233

Kit Usage

This kit is designed to add 2-way remote start with extended range of 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 the kit for a vehicle equipped with option code AP3. The vehicle must also have an automatic transmission. To add remote vehicle start, the vehicle needs to be reconfigured. This is done with a Service Programming System. 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.

Procedure

Important: Please review the 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 VIN that will be upgraded and the authorization code from the kit.
2. 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.
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 the reassemble yet.
4. Access the main body harness by pulling the left rear quarter trim panel to disengage the rearward retaining clips. Refer to Rear Quarter Trim Panel Replacement - Left Side.



5. Clean the inside of the left rear quarter glass with a surface cleaner (50 percent isopropyl alcohol, FS-1082 hi-flash naphtha or equivalent).
6. Dry the glass thoroughly using a lint-free cloth.



7. Position the antenna to the left rear quarter glass.

Important: 

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

•	Mask off or protect areas before applying the adhesion promoter.

8. Apply Glass Adhesion Promoter GM P/N 12378555 (Canadian P/N 88901239) to the rear quarter window in the area where you will install the antenna. Follow the Glass Adhesion Promoter instructions on the product label. Use a = 180 mm (7 1/16 in) and b = 51 mm (2 in) for the dimensions on the figure.

Important: 

•	Position the antenna according to the figure provided for best reception.

•	Do not touch the adhesive pad on the antenna.

9. Remove the protective film from the adhesive pad on the antenna.
10. Align the antenna according to the figure, using a = 180 mm (7 1/16 in) and b = 51 mm (2 in) from the glass blackout area.
11. Press firmly all along the antenna, including all four corners of the adhesive pad, in order to ensure proper adhesion to the glass.
12. Hold pressure on the antenna for 10-30 seconds.
13. Ensure that no gaps occur between the antenna adhesive pad and the glass.




Important: Be sure the antenna cable is routed and secured away from the rear quarter trim panel mounting clip slots to prevent the cable from being pinched.

14. Secure the antenna cable (1) to the body structure under the window with one adhesive wire wrap (5).

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

15. Loop the excess length of the antenna cable (1) into a Figure 8 at least 100 mm (4 in) long (3) and secure it to the main body harness with four tie wraps (4).
16. Connect the antenna (1) to the 2-way RCDLR (2).
17. Remove the factory keyless entry antenna (6).
18. Reassemble. Refer to Rear Quarter Trim Panel Replacement - Left Side and Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Replacement.
19. Using the Scan Tool and SPS terminal, reprogram the theft deterrent module (TDM, not VTD). Use NORMAL mode, and select the calibration with remote start. Refer to Theft Deterrent Control Module Programming and Setup.
20. Reprogram the body control module (BCM) using the method called out by the TCSC. Refer to Body Control Module Programming and Setup.
21. Program the new RCDLR. Refer to Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Programming and Setup. Program the 2-way transmitter and the vehicle factory transmitters to the new RCDLR.
22. Turn the ignition off for 1 minute.
23. Turn the ignition on.
24. Using the scan tool, retrieve any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from all of the modules.
25. Clear all DTCs.
26. Remove the scan tool.
27. Operate the 2-way and factory transmitters in order to verify correct system operations. 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.
28. Drive the vehicle above 25 mph for at least 2 minutes. This is to update the tire pressure displays.
29. Add the transmitters to the customer key ring.
30. Place the 2-Way Advanced Remote Start owner manual in the instrument panel compartment.
