Looks like an Auto Zone accessory to me. I wouldn't stick one on the exterior of my truck. To each their own.

I'll pass. Battery powered and can't change it.

Keys have worked for me for 50 years. :happysad:

The Compustar keyless entry pad mounts inside the windshield, and definitely looks a lot cleaner. No batteries either. Just saying. Aftermarket accessories beat "oem" most of the time.

I want to see someone with the inside the windshield one. That looks like something I could get behind. Just not sure about having some kid at Best Buy "install" anything on my vehicle.

I've been on vacation for the past few weeks traveling with my dog and something I'd really like to have on my truck even before this trip is a keypad for keyless entry. Yes I have a fob remote and the OnStar/GMC app but it would be so nice to be able to not worry about locking my keys/remote in the truck and phone especially with my dog in the southern heat by accident. So has anyone attempted to add a keypad on there 2014+ truck and if so will it interfere with the alarm or fob or phn apps?

 

can't you go into your 'settings' and make it so you have to use the fob to lock the doors? i know with my truck i can't lock myself out. even if i lock the doors then try to close them really fast they still unlock. the doors have to be closed and then locked from outside with the fob (i'm sure the key would lock them too, i've just never tried)

 

this is a "free" mod and you aren't sticking a keypad to your door.

 

i guess a plus for the keypad is you can get into your truck if you don't have your keys on you.

Just ordered one from the dealer today, I'm going to try to have it installed on the back side of the fuel door so it's hidden.

 

I will keep you all posted

Has anyone installed this themself? Or it required dealer installs for programming?

I love how when the guy who knows if it can be made to work on a particular vehicle comes in and says it wont work that everyone second guesses that person and said "well someone will figure it out".

 

Nice to see the 17's are getting it, sucks it is a non-user replaceable battery in it. That alone would keep me from doing it.

Requires dealer programming. I am headed to mine tomorrow. Will be sticking to inside of fuel door versus on exterior.

Which is perfect if it will work there. I'm in if that is the case. I'm curious about the battery life and if it is possible to change depending on the mount location.

Will someone tell me if this will work on a 2016 Sierra! We're all dying to know if it will work in the 2014-2016 and why wouldn't it!?

I am guessing you missed where Chris said no it will not work on anything other than 2017 or newer. He is the guy in the know since he knows the GM programming.

I put one in. Attached to the inside of the gas door so isn't on the exterior of the vehicle.

Does it just unlock or does it also lock your doors? Do you get to program your own code or do you have to tell the dealer what code you want?

Have only used to unlock thus far. Can try to see if it locks too. There is a master code from the factory and you can then choose your own 5 digit code as well which you can then change at any time using the master code.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
