Can't be added after the fact....
A lot. If you have oem remote start, that module needs changing. You need a new wiring harness, new door handles , and a new ignition hardness / parts.
Its quite expensive too when you factor in cost and labor (you can't do it). You also need a new set of keys and fobs, as well as a reflash for your vin
just curious, why do you need new door handles and ignition? The new start/stop ignition box could be swapped for the one with the key, and new fobs. then possibly reflash
With the push start/stop they also have the ability to unlock the doors without touching the key fob.

Man, I love modern electronics and the convenience they offer, but sometimes I miss the simplicity of older vehicles.
Many years ago, I drove a 1987 Porsche 924S (not exactly a status symbol, trust me). These cars still had actual cigarette lighters in them right smack in the center of the dash under the radio. One day, on a whim, I installed a simple plunger switch at the bottom of the lighter receptacle and wired it into the ignition circuit. I then deactivated the starter circuit from the ignition switch on the steering column.
Nobody could ever figure out how to start that car but me. All you had to do was turn the key to "ON" and press the cigarette lighter in until the car started and then release.
