open door with key after starting with remote access
One interesting thing I have run into. If I start the truck via remote access and then open the door using the physical key(I just tried this a day or so ago for the first time). I get the warning something like "start vehicle with key to disable alarm" If I don't start it with the key in a certain time the alarm will go off.
Has anyone else had that happen? If I open the running vehicle with the key fob I do not get that message, not sure what happens with the keypad on the door as I don't think I have tried that yet.

Man what an incredibly long, helpful, but confusing thread !!!! The confusion is simply because the technology has changed over the last 3 years, and that is the fault of no one, but it would be nice if a sticky could be put up at post number 1 or post number 1 be edited to give the latest updates or refer to one of these latest posts. I've read almost every post just to be educated and find any pitfalls that exist and think I'm ready to pull the trigger.
This was one of the big advantages that I always liked about GM and Onstar - remote start from a distance and from the phone.
Adding to a 2014 Lariat with Remote Start. I'll PM Benny as you seem to have been most helpful here and include the activation. Seems the US dealer has dropped off the thread.

Hey Freddy,
You will need the RMU module http://www.levittownfordsupercenter....ss-p-2272.html (If you live in Canada you would need a different one) and you will need the VSS http://www.levittownfordsupercenter....em-p-1882.html
Before I can perform the RMU activation you will need to have your local dealer enable Remote Start using their IDS tool, This is usually a 1/2 hour labor charge sometimes less.
Once you get the IDS programming done send me a PM and we will get your RMU activated and completed.
Let me know if you have any questions!
