Pay for VCI
Increasingly, vehicle buyers want to personalize or modify their vehicles. This can be accomplished several different ways, depending on what the owner wants to add.
One way is to purchase a kit from GM Accessories that changes the appearance or function of the vehicle. Examples include a roof rack, chrome wheel package or a two way remote start kit. Some of these kits are a straight bolt-on, and some need a software calibration changed to complete the installation.
Another alternative is to add a factory offered OEM option to the vehicle that it was not produced with. Often, these items are not offered by GM Accessories and need to be purchased as service parts. Examples include fog lights, an axle ratio change or a speed governor. Many times these items need the corresponding software to complete the installation.
Some of these reconfigurations are possible; others are not.
Over the past several months, the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) has received an increasing number of calls related to adding OEM factory options to a vehicle.
Before making a change to a vehicle, call TCSC at 1.800.828 6860 (English) or 1.800.503.3222 (French) to verify if your request can be supported. These types of modifications and support fall outside the normal support role of TCSC. To support these vehicle changes, Techline will bill the dealer's open account $50 USD per modification. This charge applies only to vehicles being reconfigured from their original build, and not part of a GM Accessories kit or normal programming support.
