Adding remote start to a 2007 Tahoe LT w/ a couple questions

[exzelz]

I am considering adding a remote start to my truck. Would I have to go an aftermarket route or is it already wired for a remote start from the factory?

If it is not already wired, which aftermarket remote starts are recommended? and would it mess with anything, like a BB Tune?

Do you have the original key fob to test if you already have factory remote start?

I found this thread on the12volt.com which mentions some Tahoe's did not come with factory remote start:

If you decide to install remote start on your Tahoe, I'd recommend a quality name brand (Viper, Compustar, Avital). You will need a bypass module as well as the alarm/remote start unit.

Here is the wiring for your Tahoe:

you should already have a stock remote start installed in your vehicle. As long as your check engine light is not on it should work.

To remotely start a Chevy Tahoe with a key fob, you can try the following steps if your vehicle is equipped with remote start:

1. Ensure you are within 200 feet of your vehicle.
2. Press the lock button on your key fob.
3. Within five seconds, press and hold the remote start button, which looks like a curved arrow, for at least four seconds.
4. If successful, your vehicle's lights will flash and the engine will start.

remote start has been around a long time, 2007 should certainly have it, if not there are plenty of aftermarket solutions ranging in price from cheap to costly
if there is no oem remote start then not sure what all would be required to make it factory, I would assume at best a module, fob and sps programing. ($45) as long as you have a pc and pass-thru device.
