Hello- as long as your GL has Keyless Go, we have a remote start solution for your vehicle that you can find on our website here: https://www.midcityengineering.com/p...er-sksng166d4/

Out of the box, the system will work from your factory key fob (press and release of the panic button). Additionally, smart phone control can be added (Compustar Drone or Directed Smart Start) and external RF remotes for extended range. Some features included are: timer start, alarm notifications through smart phone app, shock sensor integration, heated seat/rear defroster activation, and cooled seat activation. All options are programmable using easy to use on-screen menu with no flashing required.

You can find the installation manual here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7...25BV1otcmNxbTg

If you do not have Keyless Go, please let me know as there are other options.

Please let let us know if you have any questions. We can be reached at 312-421-1114 or sales@midcityengineering.com

My guess is that remote start on your car is gonna be cost prohibitive.

Hi Sb450 -
We now have a newer and more cost-effective remote starter solution for non-Keyless Go vehicles.
Below is a link to the solution for your vehicle. It requires a modification to your key cylinder and you'd also need to sacrifice one of your vehicle keys to the installation, but it's now possible to install a remote starter without having to retrofit push-to-start.
https://www.midcityengineering.com/p...r-sksng166d4t/
Take a look at the information and please feel free to give us a call to walk through the process. We'd be happy clarify any questions and also help put you in touch with an installer in your area who is capable of installing this system for you.
