Got the onstar remotelink to work in my 08 denali

how did you know to get that part #?

Did some research, thats the part number for the vcim for 2010-2011 yukons, tahoes, suburbans and most chevy gmc trucks that year, I've also heard they where in chevy traverse. And you need this one to get the remotelink to work as they offered it in 2010 and up.

Just thought I'd share. Put the new vcim in my 08 denali a few weeks back and of course the hands free works great. I did noticed i had a green onstar light, so I called in and they said Hi Mr so and so, I said no this is ......... and they said where happy you decide to buy this used 2010 tahoe, lets update your account. So we updated the account and they said it was already paid through August and they gave me another 3 months untill November. So today I went online a registered and downloaded the remotelink app to my iphone and after getting it all set up...works great! Can start the truck, unlock, lock and see all the vitals of the truck from my iphone. Of course they think its a 2010 tahoe but other than that, couldn't be happier. I think I lucked out cause it had an active account. And its the newer model vcim part number 20829984. Its actually a pretty cool app.

how much did it cost ya from car-parts.com

275.00 shipped with the antenna. Seems like the going rate is around 250-300 shipped with the antenna. Antenna goes for about 30.00

besides the awesome capability of using remote start and lock/unlock the doors from your iphone, does Remotelink give you any other features?

What about it?

Sorry, up I don't understand your question. If your asking if this will also allow Bluetooth, then yes. You just need the Bluetooth dongle as well
