That's pretty neat. Shame they don't have prices.

Around $45 for the touchpad but you need to buy a Compustar remote start or security controller to go with it. Those can run anywhere from $100 up depending on which options you get and usually require professional installation since they splice into your factory BCM. Most professional car audio places carry Compustar products and some of the Best Buy stores carry them as well.

That's not too bad. Be a great idea for those days at the water park or fishing. Don't have to worry about dragging keys everywhere with you.

Ordered mine earlier in the week and looks like UPS is delivering it today. Will post pics of the unit itself and install instructions. I am thinking of where I want to put it. Above the driver's door handle? Below the tailgate handle? Will see how big it truly is and how it looks when I get it.

Battery powered?

How to replace the battery?

My truck is summit white so I'm thinking it's going to stick out if I put it above the door handle. I think I might put it under the mirror.

I have guessed so may keypad on fords it's not even funny,

Pad gets dirty and the used keys are clean or they are worn.

We have an Escape with a keypad and don't use it for this reason.

So I'm not a fan as you can tell ha ha.

Couldn't you make your code use all of the buttons for even wear?

Just received my keypad yesterday. Came with the keypad, some basic code changing instructions, a sheet telling you that the "Service Information" section has the detailed installation instructions, a wallet card with a master code, serial number, and authorization code, and an alcohol pad to clean the surface before you stick it on there. It comes with 3M double sided tape pre-mounted to the back of it.

Looks like you can program one "personal" code to the keypad with 5 digits. The bad news is unless someone can find the information for me in the Service Information/Accessories section, you need to have your dealer program this to the truck, similar to a new key/fob. Also, the battery is not replaceable. Will post some pics of things later this weekend.

Tools Required

Measuring Tape

Masking Tape

Before you start

Note: For the keypad to adhere best, the vehicle’s front door should be free of damage (dents, scratches, creases, fractures, etc.).

The part and surface should be 21°C (70°F) prior to installation. The vehicle should remain 21°C (70°F) for one hour after assembly to allow adhesive to develop sufficient bond strength.
Clean the area above the driver side door handle with alcohol wipe.

Programming and Mounting the Keypad to the Vehicle

Technician use a QR/Bar (QRB) Code reader and scan the QRB code from the Keyless Entry Keypad Wallet Card. You can also take a picture of the QRB code.
Transfer the file your computer (e-mail or cable transfer) to a folder.
Send file to TCSC along with the vehicle VIN and the Authorization Code from the Wallet Card. Make sure to include the following in the subject line: “Vehicle Vin Needs Updated to add the GM RF Keypad Programming and .csv files is needed for attached QRB Code”
TCSC will send you another file back. Place this file in C:\Users\your id\sps\type4.
TIS2WEB should now have the “BCM Cody Control Module – Accessory only Keypad Learn” option in Supported Controllers
Using TIS2WEB Program the Keypad.
Once TIS2WEB verifies the programming was successful, enter the 5 digit driver unlock code within 30 seconds. If the driver door unlocks, the Keypad was successfully entered.
Using Appendix “A” to find the suggested mounting location, prep the mounting location using the Alcohol Prep Pad.
Remove the red tape liners and press the keypad to the mounting location being careful to make sure the keypad is following the suggested body line. Use even pressure across the keypad to insure good tape adhesion.
Verify the keypad’s functionality using the “User Instructions.
Place the “User Wallet Card” and the “User Instructions” in the vehicle owner’s manual.

APPENDIX A Procedure

Starting from the driver side rear door edge (1) measure 157 mm along the door feature line (5) and position keypad (2).

Note: Use masking tape to mark dimensions.
Starting from the door feature line (4) measure down 48 mm and position top edge (3) of keypad.

Note: Use masking tape to mark dimensions.
Peel the protective liner from the adhesive backing on keypad and position to marked dimensions. Be careful not to touch the tape with hands and do not allow tape to come in contact with dirt or any foreign matter prior to adhesion.

Important: The adhesive will bond quickly to the paint. In the event that the keypad should be mis-aligned after installation, do not attempt to remove the keypad as this will cause paint damage. To avoid mis-alignment, do not drop the keypad into place. Instead, first align the top edge of the keypad to the referenced masking tape, then right outer edge to referenced masking tape. Then, toggle the keypad into place. Once the keypad is in place, press firmly on the entire surface of the keypad and then apply 15 PSI of equal pressure along the entire keypad to ensure good tape adhesion.
