Hi, Brand new 2015 Silverado. Tried the key in the drivers door to unlock it and the alarm goes off. What gives I have the key to unlock it. Is that the way it's supposed to be. Seems to me if I was going to use the remote to disable the alarm I would' t use the key to unlock the door.

You have to disable with the fob first.

The keyhole in the drivers door is more of a backup than anything else in modern vehicles. It will get you in the car but it will make a fuss.

Push the button that shows the lock unlocked... It will actually "unlock" the door and disable the alarm through the magic of technology!! :nonod:

Stock alarm does not make a chirp unless you hit it twice in succession to lock. Horn will give a short blast.

If you lock it with the key or by pushing the lock button before closing the door it is not supposed to turn on the alarm.

The alarm is activated by the key fob, so if you use the key fob to lock, use the key fob to unlock.

Lol I always unlock/lock the truck using the fob button. BUT I have used the key to unlock the truck from time to time with no problems with the alarm going off or anything.

I have an extra key on my spare keychain. I though I read that you have 15 seconds or so after unlocking with the key to turn on the ignition before the horn sounds. That is wrong. Horn sounds immediately.

 

I can turn on the ignition and only get one honk of the horn. Oh well, the non-fob key is only for emergencies.

You don't need a spare key just unlock with the app

Hello I am experiencing the same and it is quite frustrating. 2015 GMC Sierra. Wife is daily driver and has fob with key, I have factory key only.

 

When I use truck I use my key only. When I exit truck I lock using door lock button. When I unlock the truck with my key the alarm sounds and lights immediately until I manage to put the key in ignition and turn to accessory.

 

I am unable to find how to change this behavior. Truck settings in dash do not appear to provide a option to adjust.

 

Anyone have any suggestions? I do not carry or have second fob. Don't want one.

Cburton as mentioned above use the free on star app. It will work for 5 years at no additional charge. I use mine at work or when shopping if it is cold to remote start the truck. That way i don't have to wait till I'm 100' from the truck. It's also nice if you lock the keys in, or someone needs in your truck and they don't know where the spare key is ie. Wife wants my phone charger or somthing out of the console. She can call amd i don't have to run outside at work just tap the button and she do whatever.

Why not buy another remote for about 30 bucks on ebay?

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
