Absolutely, I mounted mine inside the fuel door. It's a fairly gaudy piece to be stuck on the painted surfaces of the truck. The keypad will not lock only unlock the doors, so if you plan on leaving your keys in the cab you have to use the inside lock button on the door before closing.

That's kinda crappy, I assumed it would be like the fords where you push the last two buttons to lock.

I ordered one and it arrived yesterday.  I have the programming tools and software and am going to install it tomorrow once i get the VIN-specific file for my truck from GM.  

 

The instructions say it will lock the doors by pressing the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons simultaneously.

 

It has a battery, but it is not replaceable according to the instructions.  You have to replace the entire thing and re-program when the battery dies.

 

I plan on mounting mine on the inside of the fuel door.

Let us know if it works... If it does I will be ordering one for sure.  It would be great at the lake to just lock all the stuff in the truck and not have to worry about carrying my keys with me.

I tried the simultaneous 7/8 and 9/0 button press today, and all locked. As usual, the internet is better than written instructions. My keypad is one year old, and the batteries are still good. Do you think that it will make it past the 3yr/36k warranty?

I bet we'll get 5 years on the battery.

I programmed it today and can confirm it both locks and unlocks the doors.

Do you have pics of it mounted in your fuel door? I'm debating on whether or not I should get this, and I'm thinking of out of sight places to mount it.

I mounted mine in my fuel door. I will get a pic. It had to be vertical or it won't fit though.

There are already a whole bunch of threads on this with pictures of places people mounted them.  Try the Search function.

I was able to mount mine horizontally.  I had to use a couple of pieces of two sided 3M foam tape to "build up" the end farthest from the hinge because the hinge bracket is lifted up.

Some pictures.  The top view shows the white 3M double sided foam tape that i used to deal with the hinge.

How hard is it to program this into the truck?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not difficult, but you need a license to the GM software (which has to run on a newer PC) and an interface for the OBD.  It will cost several hundred $ to get all of this.  I spent the $ b/c I also wanted to modify my tire pressure thresholds in my DIC and also re-flash my ECU and TCU with the latest w/out having to go to the dealer.  

 

If all you are interested in is the keyless entry, I'd just have the dealer do it and then mount it where you want.

I bought this at the dealership. Got quoted at $260 just for installation (Naples GMC)

 

They have had the truck two days now and having issues on my 2019. The "download" from gm isn't working correctly. 

 

I would avoid this upgrade and this dealership.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
