Can I get a center cut key from a locksmith that matches the little key in the fob that is used for opening the door? I want a full size key not one of the little fob keys. The reason I ask is that I just ordered a Extang Encore Tonneau cover and supposedly for our trucks it is made to use the key inside our key fob to "program" the lock. The lock cylinder learns the key you use and is then keyed to that...well key. The other option is to order another cylinder that comes with a key for around $50 and swap it out. Not sure if it will "learn" any other keys as the installer I spoke to told me it was madd to use the key inside the fob.

Hmm I personally would get the 3 wire hardwire kit. Not sure about the static but I think that may just be RF interference. But at least I'd think you'd get more use out of your cam with parking mode available.

And my rear one. Not really mounted. Have to switch the cable around so the right angle is in the rear. Otherwise the connector hits the roof limiting how high I can mount it. Works for now and window operates normally.

Here is where I mounted my front one.

Any news on this? Single dashcam or Dual? Have you had any TPMS issues or proximity sensor issues or key fob range issues. Supposedly the power cable on some devices can cause interference with these things. See my post for the issues I'm having.

Does yours have a rear dashcam? Any interference issues with key fob or TPMS? See my post for the issues I am having.

So I installed a Viofo A129 Duo dash cam with a hardwire kit, tapping off ACC power from the heated steering wheel fuse and constant battery power for parking mode from the universal garage door opener fuse. Anyway since installing this setup my proximity sensors on the doors have been inconsistent, also my front left TPMS sensor has been disconnecting. I get an error that says something like service TPMS System. From what I've read online it is the power cable (USB) that is ran to the rear dashcam. Supposedly the cable is shielded but the RKE module is really sensitive to any power running near it. The usb cable does have some type of shielding on it but it is a proprietary 10 pin mini usb cable, so no replacing it. I ran the cable from the dash cam mounted just to the left of my rear view mirror, along the headliner, down the passenger A pillar, and then all the way under the passenger door sills, and it comes out near the passenger rear back seat. Thinking of trying to route the cable down the drivers side instead but was hoping someone knew if this would work before I do it.

The one in the dash or whatever like in this example picture. I tried a new cable and nothing. It seems a little loose. The USB port next to it works fine. Any chance this is an easy fix?

You find any other info on this? Just curious as everytime I hop in the truck I feel a little off. Wondering how the towel has been working for you? Thinking if I should do the same or I'd some type of pad would help.

Thanks! Below is where I bought them. It comes with an extra 4 precut vinyl bowties. I only needed to use 4. So I have 4 extra in case I ever need to reapply one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07TND49D8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Changed my bowties in the rims black to match my black illuminating bowtie on the front.

That's not even a 2019 yo. You have a $50K truck and those boring plain ass tips sticking out of the back? Gross. I'd be embarrassed to be seeing driving that thing down the road.

I bought them on Amazon. They are not OEM or anything but that didn't matter to me. I prefer the style of this particular one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07P583J9L/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_track_package_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I meant to reply back sooner but I forgot. I took a closer look and the seat does not appear to make contact with the center console. I do feel like I'm not sitting evenly on the seat. Doesn't bother me except when my OCD kicks in and then it bugs me lol. Did you ever find out anything on this?

For anyone wondering about the points, I bought my truck a couple of months ago and didn't have the 20,000 reward points. I called Chevy and they added 21,000 points. Was a painless process. https://www.gm.com/contact-us.html

While it is true that they built the network for safety and crash response functions, that does not mean that their is not a cost associated with maintaining and upgrading that network at a regular interval. Just think how many times you upgrade your cellphone to support the newest features out there. I imagine they must have to refresh their compute and storage devices at a regular intervals to be compliant with whatever privacy standards are out there. I definitely get your point though. I would only pay up to around $3 a month for the key fob service. Any more than that and I'd be also be paying a good $20 each use. Just doesn't make sense. I would hope they would reduce the monthly price in an attempt to get more people to sign up but I wont hold my breath. I tried to find an article that went more into detail on the infrastructure but this is the closest thing I found. https://www.networkworld.com/article/3183090/12m-connected-cars-gives-general-motors-a-massive-iot-fleet.html

I do not like the fact that I must pay for the app as this Truck is my first GM vehicle ever. I will not be paying for on-star, I will just use the key fob as that is truly free. Not a huge deal to me. Now although I don't like it, I can understand why they charge for it. If you think this costs GM nothing you must have never heard the phrase, "nothing in life is free". I'm no expert on...well...anything really but when you use the app it does not magically connect to your vehicle through air waves and unlock your vehicle. The signal travels from your app to the onstar network and then from their network to your vehicles onstar receiver. Do you think the infrastructure for this network is free? Not to mention the time developing the app, the hardware that is in the cars, the over 400+ patents onstar had in like 2009 (not sure what the number is now). Wouldn't you rather have a choice in paying for this if you use it vs being forced to pay for it? To me it makes sense that using this service has a cost. I wish the cost was much lower, but for me it's an easy decision to not opt in for the service. My key fob works just fine. Which again is absolutely free. (well like I said nothing is free, in this case you already paid for the key fob, might as well use it.).

I got them from here. I got the raised dome style and not the flat one. I was not concerned about price when I ordered. Not sure about quality, I am thinking they may all be the same but then again I've always believed you get what you pay for. I live in Texas so when the package arrived the adhesive backing was already melting somewhat and caused the letters to stick to the cardboard packaging. It was kind of a pain to make sure they lined up correctly. I am a bit OCD though. https://www.bdtrims.com/Tailgate-Plastic-Letters-Inserts-for-2019-Chevrolet-Silverado-Models

Thanks! a lot of people don't like chrome and I thought I was one of them. Turns out I love it! I don't think I could go through with blacking the chrome out and losing the sweet sweet shine it has.

@jlong1984 for some reason can't quote your post, but yeah my truck has remote start. Do you have a key fob that looks like this? If so press the lock button once and then hold down the bottom left (circle with an arrow) button down for 5 seconds.

The key fob seems to work from plenty far away for me. Also I don't ever leave it running unless I have someone in the truck while I go inside. Even if it's just a quick in and out I turn it off. Usually doesn't get hot enough to make a difference. I live in Texas so it's plenty hot here. I don't think I would want another vehicle without remote start though lol.

Which one do you recommend? Sorry if you already mentioned it, was just too lazy to back and reread the thread lol.

Yeah I've thought about that. I didn't like the idea at first but I do have a cargo bar and I like that drawback more than not being able to see out the back, like with the backflip. I'll just have to be sure to not let anything too high get directly under where it folds. I'll likely use it more like a trunk so I think it'll be OK.

Anybody have any feedback on the paragon? https://www.peragon.com/ That's the one I planned to go with. Mainly because it can be taken off easily if access to the whole bed is needed. I also prefer a hard cover vs a soft one. It's the one I plan to get.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. I'll move it over. And yeah in one direction it had resistance and the other it didn't. I rotated so it had resistance. I think I'm going to go with a black widow mufflers and have the flapper removed.
