Has anyone installed a factory remote start kit for 2018 Chevy equinox. I have an LS AWD and I am wanting to install a factory remote start but can’t find any instructions for the install. I know how to do the fob programming but not the physical install. If anyone has done it I’d love to know you did it. Please and thank you.

If your car has a hood open switch already installed I doubt there's anything else to physically install. I bought the factory kit and I think all you get is the new fobs and some paperwork. It's all in the programming. I bought mine from GM online and had the dealer install it, I think it was just under $400. I have software for programming the body computer for Ram and all I needed for my truck was the hood switch and the rubber buttons for the fobs with the extra switch contact. I think I spent $60 on it.

How can I verify if I have a hood open switch already installed? I thought about buying the kit from GM online as well but it seemed too good to be the whole kit.
