Gm puts this package in many of it's vehicles, so I have to wonder... What would be needed, aside from the actual door handles and the new ignition to add the feature to my 2017 LTZ. Or is it even possible?

 

And as always... Enjoy your ride!

Have any pics? 

 

Potentially think you might need some BCM modification.

I actually spoke to WAMS about this and unfortunately, there is a lot “behind the scenes” stuff that make this all work. There are wireless transmitters that work with the Key Fob to determine proximity. These transmitters/receivers are wired to various locations, all door handles, ignition, etc.

Multiple modules, programming (if even possible). We didn’t go into any more details.

This is also becoming a theft problem.

How's it becoming a theft problem? It actually comes with the auto door locks feature that prevents would be dirt bags from going through your glove box.

Definitely interesting, but afterall it is a mercedes.

Maybe the Silverado and Sierra are not as highly sought after :D

Without getting boring technical on the tech, it's actually fairly easy.

People won't be going through all that hassle for a regular pickup, that's 'Gone in 60 seconds' type of theft. Plus, you regular key fob signal and garage door opener can be copied the same way.

And just food for thought, no one has paid for that tech to jack my wife's minivan! And it's a swagger waggon! Lol

And as always... Enjoy your ride!

    • Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.        
    • I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.
    • I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉 
    • 4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.    
    • 2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
