GM Autostart

[SWSS]

Dayum fellers, I am an old field engineer so use single line info....thanks for the input. Is this a driveway garage sumptin, sumptin I can do? Or do I need to pay an installer? I said it would be cheaper to buy long handles...no, did not think so.

My bad. I must have been drunk when I made that reply. With the ADS module on certain GM platforms you can use a remote start remote kit from Compustar WITH OUT using a remote start brain. If you want to use a DRONE system, yes you do need a Compustar brain. Now, they just released a new 800 series which is basically just like the 600 and 700 series except that it's DRONE ready. That would be the cheapest way to go in order to get what you are looking for.

Sometimes even if I am not, I say so because it don't make sense to me sober either!

Just added drone to my 13 tahoe. Plug and play with a t harness. Drone works off the Verizon network. Love it so far.

If you are very familiar with electronics in a late model vehicle AND comfortable with remote starters then you should be able to do it. If not, I would not recommend it. Plus, there are some user parameters that can only be adjusted by an authorized Compustar technician.

I'm still a little confused here. If I have factory remote start on my tahoe I CANNOT just add drone to have the remote app? Instead I would have to add an aftermarket remote start as well with the drone?

OK. Sorry for the confusion here. You "can" just ad a Drone for GPS tracking purposes only. If you want to remote start, you will need to add Compustar's FT-GM10-DC http://www.compustar.com/factoryfit/compustar-ebrochure.pdf Then the Drone plugs into that piece. No wiring, just plug it in and you are on your way. DEI (i.e. Viper) had a plug and play kit via Expresskit.com but there's been some compatibility issues. I had only done a few and unsure if they fixed it all or not. 100% sure the DRONE with this kit will get you going though.

Thanks for the clarification. That does help. I'm surprised there isn't a way to use the oem remote start and add the drone app but it is what it is.

Thanks again.

Well, the OEM remotes are set up through the BCM. The boys up north in Canada (Idatalink.com) had come up with a way to do it straight with the DRONE but there's too much chatter on the LinBus line where they had to get it to work. User perimeters were also lost. That being said to get the full use out of the DRONE, this is the way to go. I've used the GM10 system alone with just remotes and was pretty impressed on how well it worked. It's a great way to get 1mile range out of the vehicle with out paying $500.
