I have the car listed above that comes with no remote start and I would like to know if I can install the original GM remote starter? Is this just plug and go system or need reprogramming BCM etc?

Yes, you can install the GM remove start. It will need to be programmed in should cost about $130.00 at a shop. Please let us know what happens.

Could you explain more the process because actually I have the original remote key fob with no remote start. If I understand do you mean I need new remote start key fob plus a reprogramming BCM? I am confused, please let me know
Thank you for time you spent. Regards

Sure, the remove start package includes a wiring harness and relay that will need to be installed and the BCM will need a program update to allow the BCM to trigger the relay to work the starter and allow the engine to run with the ignition switch off.
