Okay so today they tried to repo my truck because the said I didn't make a payment but gave me a receipt for payment. Go figure. As I called in office they confirmed I was correct. But as I got home I remembered to disconnect the GPS that dealers put to find vehicles. I want to know if I got the right module or is it just a dummy. The truck came with a starter disable and aftermarket alarm with vibration sensors and led. Thats ontop of oem factory alarm.

Thus is it below

I'm pretty sure you have it , google up the FCC # located on it and you will get your results , used for Traxit X 2G GPS Tracker application

Usually the shady used car places that focus on people with less than ideal credit. Some of the real lousy ones do something with a system that requires you to enter a code monthly to keep the car from not starting.

Thanks guys my buddy asked the same question on gmfs and they totally ratted him out saying he didn't make payments and trashed talked. That's been a major reason why I stayed with gm-trucks and haven't made an account with them

True but doesn't it require subscription and I don't think a dealer would buy for all vehicles on loan

Depends on the dealer. Those things are probably cheaper than losing a vehicle someone defaulted on.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
