GM Keyless Entry Keypad - New GM Accessory

[TxTruckMan]

Anybody seen this? I just noticed it on the GM accessory sites. Pretty cool idea. It says just for 2017, but I wonder if it will work on older trucks. It appears to just be another version of a key fob. I'm interested for only $125.

And it can be placed in any location - inside the fuel door - side of or under mirror - someone on here posted it attached under the driver's side wiper.......

JMO but I don't see the value. You still need to get out your key to start the dang thing.

Requires programming so it only works on what the General wants it to work on.

Search the forums. There are 2 or 3 threads discussing this and showing some that were installed recently. I believe it only works on 2016+ trucks.

It would be useful to me when I go to the gym. I could leave all my stuff in my truck - phone, keys, wallet - and just use this to unlock my truck.

 

Or if you go the beach or someplace else where you don't want to take your keys and phone.

So the dealer has to program it before it'll work?

Is it wireless? I can't see this doing so well in Canadian winter but it's a cool device! I'm gonna have to check out my coat at work tomorrow. I'd love to have this on my truck.

another copy move from GM ...While they are at it can we also get the fords rear vents and flat rear floor ?

And how about the remote tailgate drop , and can I also ask for keyless entry with push start ?

Very unfordtunate for GM to go down that road...(see what I did there lol).

GM had it for past generations. It is a stick on battery operated remote. People who don't wade fish on the beach will never understand the value of keyless entry. Keys stay locked up safe in the truck until you want in. While the Ford guys have the key pad on their door, us GM guys have to hide a spare key. Not very secure but no choice.

Sounds like a fun accessory. I carry my truck and house keys with me when I'm out so I would find this more of a novelty item. I am not sure how comparing to Fords is relevant. Different features is how we base our selection. It is odd to pick a GM and wish it was equipped like a Ford, imo!

So you don't want any of those options because Ford had them first? Guess GM shouldn't be building vehicles at all then.... wouldn't want to copy Ford...
