Evening all. New to the forum.  Hope someone has an answer for me.  So I had my 2016 Silverado LTZ broken into today. No sign of forced entry. Positive I locked the doors. My question is this:  is it possible to clone the remote.  Called Chevrolet and they swear it's not possible because of the proprietary software needed. Anyone know for sure? Thanks.

The name brand of the original device is called Rolljam. Someone basically waits with a code grabber and jammer for you to lock your truck with the fob. It jams the first send of the code so your truck does not get it all the while saving the code. You then realize it didn't lock so you send it again. The device grabs the second key then broadcasts the first so your truck locks. They then wait for you to go away and unlock your truck with the saved code.

The device is about the size of a cell phone. This happened to my wife. She thought there was something wrong with her car and called me. I told her to lock it manually which on hers arms the factory alarm and won't let the fob work without key unlocking the door. A few minutes later a couple of guys were getting frustrated when their device would not open the car.

Works with garage door openers as well.

Wow. Is there any way to block the cloned fob? They stole my license from my truck so they have my address. Does this mean they can come by any time and help themselves to things in my truck?

      AUX switch install

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Update for anyone following:    Installed everything as shown in diagram. Opted for 8 AWG from Battery Positive to a 50A resettable inline breaker. 8 AWG is tied into to 2x 12 AWG wires feeding a 6 way fuse bus in parallel (manufacturer’s design of what I purchased).    4 of the 6 fuses available for circuits are tied to terminal 30 of each relay. I tied a jumper from one of my spare circuits off the bus to terminal 86 of each relay. The trigger, terminal 85, was pulled from my interior by way of T-Taps from the X61A-X5 pins 10, 11, 17 and 23. This was the hardest part of the job. Even with the X61A unbolted and the X5 removed - there was VERY little wiggle room.  I added back up lights that I want to come on with my cargo lamp - but when I would check continuity between S48A-X1 pin 18 to its respective landing point on the X61A-X5 it triggers the factory relay… Instead I opted for a add-a-fuse on the passenger interior fuse panel (fuse location 10 - cargo lamp) and ran it through the boot on the driver side to my load. Did this to avoid introducing any electrical gremlins.   Note: Please check for continuity between the S48A-X1 and the X61A-X5. In my case wire colours were not the same as other’s who have posted. To do a continuity check you need a Multimeter. Completely disassemble the S48A-X1 and remove the brown face plate off the X61A-X5 by way of a flat head screwdriver - this was the only way I could get any results.   The outputs, terminal 87 of the relays, were fed into a junction box and landed at Individual studs and were labelled Aux 1-4.    At this point, all you need to do is run wire to your loads and bring them to ground. I created a negative bus in the engine bay, all my negatives land here.    For anyone having issues with all of your new aux switch lights coming on with the press of one - I noticed this only to be an issue when the battery wasn’t hooked up to my relays? No idea why, but it was quickly corrected by having my system buttoned up and functional.

Thanks GM lol

      Don't need the air tube but that's how everyone sells them. Most places won't remove that one piece and sell it alone. No money to be made. Hoping someone swapped theirs out for a CAI and no longer wants it. Not asking anyone to give it away. Offering to buy it but I don't need the tube. It's held on by a hex head screw and nut. Been all over eBay.
