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?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Getting greedy...   The AC pump has been replaced at least once per service records, and it's been recharged twice since 2018 or so, in approximately 2 year intervals between those charges.   It was done at the same shop...clearly they were enjoying the revenue of recharging the system periodically versus actually tracking down and fixing the leak. I learned that the owner was 88 years old when she passed in 2023, so maybe they assumed only a temporary fix was needed anyway.   The system is basically empty now, the compressor spins freely, so I'm guessing it "just needs a recharge".   I vacuumed it down, and it has basically held overnight. Doesn't appear to leak under vacuum, check! So it must leak under pressure. I don't have a way to pressurize the system and pressurizing it with shop air wouldn't be great for the air dryer (which is probably toast anyway?)   The dryer (accumulator? I'm not an AC expert) has a Schrader valve, but the high side has an old ball-type valve, which are notorious for leaking. It's clearly had schmutz blown out of it at one point because the line/area next to the valve is coated old black crud, which I assume is AC refrigerant residue/oil, or maybe even dirty dye. I think I'll roll the dice and replace the valves. I have a black light around here somewhere so I'll find it and shine it around the engine bay in the dark to see if there's any dye.   I can't think of another way to track down the leak other than injecting some dye (if it doesn't have any) and having it charged up. We can't buy R134a off the shelf here anymore, so I'll run it up to Jiffy Lube and have them do it. I think I have a coupon. At the very least, the charge should last long enough for a year or two, according to history. I think this truck will be long gone by then. But cold AC is a selling point.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      2022 2500HD Crew Z71 Duramax single alternator.  Recently had the primary (water pump / fan) belt tensioner pulley bearing to fail while hundreds of miles from home of course the plastic pulley melted and belt shredded which took out some wiring. Found a replacement tensioner assembly and belt to continue now would like to find a replacement for just the pulley and bearing to have a spare assembly in case of a repeat, the rest of the tensioner is fine. Has anybody here found a correct replacement part for just the pulley and bearing? Any help is appreciated.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Atlas · Posted

      +1 for the 3.0   Perfect for 1500 pickup towing duties.   Perfect engine for a 1500 pickup period. Huge torque at stunningly low RPM makes it feel a lot lighter than it is. The fuel mileage is insane for a tall and heavy 1500... 30+ on the highway. Mid 20's around town.   It's probably not perfect if you bought a 6.2 for the braaaaaaapppppp V8 noises and wrapping it out to 6k. The LZ0 acts and sounds like a small turbo diesel and there's nothing you can do to make a small turbo diesel sound like a big one, and you can't make an inline diesel sound like a V8 diesel/big Duramax. It's a different driving experience altogether.   Drive one, I think you'll like it, though...
