Keyless Entry Keypad GM Accessory Offered For Buick, Chevy And GMC
14Sponsored Links
Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon excepted, keyless entry has pretty much become an industry standard these days, but there’s one little-known GM accessory that offers the enhanced convenience of this feature without the need for a keyfob. It’s called the Keyless Entry Keypad, and it’s available on select Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles.
GM’s cross-town rival, Ford, is typically known for offering keyless entry keypads on its vehicles, but GM has one as well. However, the Keyless Entry Keypad GM accessory isn’t on too many buyers’ radars, so we decided to shed some light on it.
The Keyless Entry Keypad GM accessory essentially eliminates the need to use a key or keyfob to lock or unlock the door, adding convenience for owners. The system also permits owners to leave their keys locked in the car when not in use (though that’s not necessarily something we would recommend doing).
To be frank, it’s a bit of an old-school approach to keyless entry, but certainly should be helpful for those drivers who prefer using a keypad.
The Keyless Entry Keypad can be ordered with a vehicle, and is then installed by the dealer on the B-pillar of the driver’s-side door.
This GM accessory is available on the following 2020 model-year vehicles:
The Keyless Entry Keypad GM accessory runs around $125. It should also be noted that Keyless Entry Keypad should provide provisions for the keyless entry systems (like the keyfob), but we have yet to test how the two features work together.
We’ll have more details on this GM accessory at a later date, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, subscribe to GM Authority for more Buick news, Chevrolet news, GMC news and around-the-clock GM news coverage.
Little do they tell you once the battery goes dead on the keypad, its non serviceable and you have to buy another unit at $125.
Wife’s 2008 Milan has one, if it’s on battery then it’s still kicking. I have found it very helpful even with keyless entry.
Waste of time and money. I can use the Fob or my phone to open what I need.
The Image is fine as they have different versions for different models. The Blazer is the new one.
Have one on my 2008 Mercury Mariner and it was easily one of my favorite things about the vehicle. Really wish I had one on my 19 Silverado LD. I never thought I would use it as many times as I did. These days, Ford makes most of theirs integrated while the GM option is a cheap looking add on.
Just to clear things up….Ford’s keyless entry pad has been offered on their vehicles since 1980’s. ….and they were NOT an afterthought which operated on batteries. They were hardwired into the car electronics.
I had a 97 Explorer I bought for $3k in 2006 that had this and looked 1000% better than this trash. I loved it as I could leave everything in the car n just open it with the combination. GM will get few takers (because it’s junk) and stop offering it.
What, no mention of what prior-model year vehicles this might be compatible with?
Have a ’14 K2 Silverado and would LOVE to add this.
Do some digging, already!
Its made by Kraco and is available at Trak Auto and Pep Boys.
@ETMC The GM one for K2 is 2017-2019 only.
GM has had these since about 2017-2018.
Junk.
Note to GM your not ford haha
My 85 town car had a keypad I used it daily
I assume this is for vehicles with keyless entry but not keyless ignition? With keyless ignition, you just push a button on the door handle to unlock it (assuming the fob is in your pocket), which would make this kind of redundant.
Late! Who next in line please?
