This might be an odd question. I was talking with a buddy. Considering the fact that our lt1 doesn't have the factory remote start. he said something like it might be possible that all the wireing is there just needs a sensor and a new remote...any truth to this or am i just going to have to go aftermarket

Just might be. If it has an RPO code for "remote start ready" then you buy new fobs and get it reprogrammed and your good to go. Did it on my inlaws 07Buick Lurcerne.

I just need your VIN so I can run it on GM site that gives the break down of what it came with

I can't remember if this was my old Cobalt or this Malibu..

I believe yours is remote-start ready. You would have to bring it to your local Goodwrench centre, have them give you the new keyfobs and activate the remote-start feature on the vehicle.

It's already wired for the feature.
