I have a 2015 1500 WT. It didn't come with keyless entry remotes, can I just buy a set off of Ebay and program myself?

Can you add a remote? IF you have power locks, YES you can add a remote. Why? Because you have tire pressure monitors on your truck.. They transmit their data to the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR). Because that module is present, you can add a factory keyless entry remote. NOW...can you program them yourself? NO. HAS to be done by a dealer with GDS2. Can you add factory remote start? No.

Thanks 15HDriver, I am guessing the remote would probably have to be bought through the dealer? Or could I purchase one online and just have them program it? I'll call the dealership and see what they say.

AU3 ( Electric door lock ) means your truck didn't come with remote keyless entry from factory. Contrary to what's been said previously here you can still get OEM remote start but the kit is very expensive because it includes a hood switch with harness, key FOBs (2), a different RCDLR an AP3 sticker to apply over your AU3 and an activation code, all this has to be done at the dealer or a certified GM shop. They will sync the new RCDLR to your BCM and with the activation will be able to download the proper menus to your BCM to enable these options.

Some different RPO codes for these new trucks. AP3 and AP8 is a 2007-2013 deal. On K2 trucks, if you have AQQ, you can add remote start. AU3 power locks are standard on all K2 trucks. Just to clarify, when I say K2, its 2014+up. You don't need a new RCDLR on K2 trucks. The OP has a 2015. If its got power locks, you can go right into the BCM and add key fobs. I have personally done this on a 2015 1500 WT. The customer was curious if it could be added, but he ended up not doing it because he didn't feel like spending the $$$ for two key fobs and $30 for programming. I took a brand new one off the shelf, went in via GM's GDS2 diagnostics and was able to add them to the truck no problem.

I stand corrected then. Thank You! Now we all know. Did you need a GM activation code like before or the menus are all there?

On the K2 trucks, with GM GDS2 you go into the BCM and simply add fobs. If its a truck that has factory keyless but no remote start, its a hood latch, two fobs and an auth. code that has to be phoned in to GM to change the programming for the truck. Those come in the GM accessory remote start kit. GMT-900 were similar (AP8 to AP3 factory remote start upgrade but those were just key fobs, no hood latch).

So in my 2018 Custom with AU3 code, all I would need is keyfobs and a reprogram from the dealer? I asked the dealership to add keyless entry and they charged me $275 and install a crap aftermarket one.

Newdude - do you know if this is the same on the Express Vans?  I have a 2014 with no key fobs, but with On-Star, Cargo, Duramax if it makes a difference.  AU3 RPO code.  Dealer tried 3 times to order key fobs, 3 button, 4 button (cargo door separate) & 5 button (remote start) and could not get any to pair with the RCDLR /TPMS receiver.  I ran this information and VIN past Dorman when I tried one of their programming modules & fob and they ran the VIN said I am missing the key fob receiver.  But I have TPMS and the receiver is the same part number.   SO..... Do I need a different RCDLR receiver (part number 20863945) and have the BCM reprogrammed to use this new key fob / TPMS receiver?  My dealer doesn't seem to understand this stuff.  They also said just buy an aftermarket remote / alarm.

Aaagh, I forgot to include that.  It's a Express 2500 Extended, Cargo, with the 6.6L Duramax turbo, GVWR of 8,600 lbs. A bit of a rare bird.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
