HEHE, my mod project for this weekend - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

dahulk · 02-12-2011, 11:17 AM

got the new gauge cluster and the GM remote start with 2 new keys (of course after I install I have to go get the keys cut and programmed)

Now, the cluster came with install instructions but the remote start (which is a cable harness and a couple other small things), no instructions...grrr

Part of the remote start is using a Tech 2 to reprogram the computer, that is what the code is that came with your kit. The dealer has to call some number and give them that code, then GM gives them the unlock code for your car. I had major problems with mine when the dealer did it. Basically what happened with mine was that there was an error with the code.

you can program your keys yourself, don't let them charge you for a 20 second process

1) stick old key into ignition and turn to "on" (it's the position before "start")
2) turn off and take out old key
3) quickly (like a few seconds) insert new key and turn to "on"
4) The DIC will say "Key Programmed"

I have to ask you, but when you got your 4-pack gages what came with it to mount the gages to the top plate?

Unless they changed something from nine months ago when I got my gauges, it should be cable ties. I know some people have decided to bolt the two together and there are holes for that purpose on the underside, but I find that the ties work perfectly and are much faster than finding a proper sized screw & nut. Just pull it real tight and trim off the excess.

dahulk, can't speak to the new keys isue, but the gauges are quick & easy at least. Enjoy!

yup, used zip ties... I was going to use a nut and bolt but I didnt have any in my toolbox so oh well. Now I am trying to figure out how to install the darn remote start. its only 1 cable harness and 2 empty plastic stap covers.... anyone know?

Scottishgames · 02-12-2011, 01:45 PM

Thanks, I also got the zip-ties and thought I got screwed (no pun intended) I'll be mounting mine as soon as this weather clears.

I did the gauge pack yesterday. It was very easy except the AC piece, that was the biggest PITA. I also used the Zip ties to hook it up and it seems to be good to go, I made them as tight as I could and they aren't moving.

Don't all automatics already have remote start? I forget.

Not for the 1SS unless you get the convenience and connectivity package.

make sure your dealer can cut those keys for you .they are laser cut keys most dealers do not have the computer and cutter.
