GMC Flip Key


Recommended Posts

Posted

Have those keys for wife's Equinox and I hate them, always afraid I am going to bump it and break it off.

GM has had them for a few years and VW has been using them forever. They're pretty rugged it seems.

Yes I understand they are rugged but it just seems like a bad idea to have something sticking out that far on the column, not that I can recall seeing one broken off.

They sure as hell wont break.. The ones on our Camaros we've used for pry tools and as a flat head screwdriver.. The camaro community is pissed about them cutting the key off putting a key ring on and giving you another key because of some fat kneed person hitting it and causing the airbag to not go off during a collision... SMH recalls.

Why would they complain, you don't have to have the recall done. I didn't. I'm keeping my flip key.

I've searched the forums and haven't seen or heard of anyone trying it out yet.. Well at least not on a 2014 and newer..

 

Might have to be the guinea pig here and try it out.

The gear shifter will just hit it. It almost hits my key as is. If you have the steering wheel tilted all the way up to the highest setting the shifter will hit the stock key, but not a problem for me since I don't have it tilted all the way up.

 

As far as I know it won't be a problem on a vehicle with a floor shifter.

Yeah the shifter hits it. I wish we had keyless start with a push button. My mazda 6 has that and it beats a flip key any day. I like the ford F150 keys that have the key and fob in one.
