Onan 5500 remote start question

In my previous MH I had 4 locations throughout the coach where I could start/stop the generator. It was a 7500 diesel, now I have the 5500 gas model and I would like to add an additional remote start and was wondering if that is possible and if so, is it a kit or do I have to splice it in somehow?

Thanks in advance

    Onan makes a smart wireless remote setup that is simple to install but it's pricey at $650. The hard wired version is cheaper but much harder to install.
    I think it's called Energy Command. Amazon.

    You'll need to parallel the new remote with the existing remote by splicing the wiring harness.
    Scroll down in this LINK to the diagram see how the switches are wired.
