Hello, new 'Nox owner here :)
My wife just purchased a new 07 Equinox (yes, new... it was still sitting on the dealer lot til two weeks ago!)... and it has the regular keyless entry.. didn't come with remote start, but I understand that if the RPO code sticker lists "AP8" as one of the build options, that it's pre-installed to have the regular remote start added by just buying the proper keyfobs (GM part number 17801236) and programming it using a Tech 2 diagnostic tool...
I have yet to look in the glovebox, but I'm assuming that's where the RPO sticker is... :)
What I'd like to know... is the "advanced" two-way remote option to add onto the GM Trucks... I've seen a couple of posts around other sites eluding to it's ability to also work on the 'Nox... just remove the factory keyless entry box on the rear D-pillar, put in a new keyless box (with mega range, supposedly!!) and reflash the BCM to make it all work... and apparently there's no options on a 'Nox that would conflict with it, unlike the trucks with power rear sliding windows... supposedly.
Now... would I use the 19171128 or the 19171129 kit?? :)
