Could you explain more the process because actually i have the original remote key fob with no remote start. If i understand do you mean i need new remote start key fob plus a reprogramming BCM? I am confused, please let me know

Sure, the remove start package includes a wiring harness and relay that will need to be installed and the BCM will need a program update to allow the BCM to trigger the relay to work the starter and allow the engine to run with the ignition switch off.
