it's totally sealed up, no chance of intrusion assuming it doesn't get pried on or the housing/pad cracked..

 

that's the same 3M automotive adhesive that is used on your rear tailgate bowtie.

it'll hold up to car washes and harsh winters if the surface is cleaned properly first.

Curious about this. I leave my truck running often in the hot summer or cold winter as I bring my dog with me everywhere and he stays in my truck when I do site visits. I hate how the truck turns it

Agree, I checked tonight and you can lock the fob inside. The GM pic shows the front well, so I snapped a pic of the back for you.

Yeah, I'm not really worried about it coming off.  I am more concerned with battery life and general longevity as I said it just seems really cheap.  I may be wrong...but it does only have a one year warranty.

I would assume it can be pried open and a battery replaced.

seems silly to have a thing like this that can run out of batteries then just sit there..

Still wondering if this will allow the truck to run while key fob is left in vehicle and doors locked?  Gets very cold up here in ND and leaving truck running during the winter is a must.

have you read all the responses, someone earlier said they had it and it does allow that.

 

I never really could understand the "dont lock the key fob in the truck" thing..  (especially with proximity lock options)..

Yes reread all responses, doesn't say anyone has tried it while truck is running to see if the truck shuts off after the predetermined time frame.  All that was confirmed is that it will lock the doors with fob inside.

With the truck off, I can lock the fob in the truck. With it running, all the doors except the drivers door would lock. If I take the fob with me, I can lock the doors while it’s running.
I noticed the truck can’t be remote started with the app & the fob left in the truck either.

Why would you want to lock the fob in the truck while it’s running?

When it's 30 below outside and you go into the store or restaurant or hardware store or whatever, it's a must to leave the truck running.  Or say you're doing a hotshot out to a rig and you have to unload and you want your truck locked so the other rig pukes don't steal your stuff.  There are infinite situations where you would want your truck running longer than the 10-15 minutes allowed.

I totally agree about leaving it running but you asked about leaving the fob in the truck while it’s running. Why not just take the fob with you & lock the truck while it’s running. It’s a nonissue then.

If I'm not mistaken, i believe that the truck will, no doubt, shut off without the fob.

Nope. You can leave the truck locked & running without the fob in it. I do it all the time.

I do this all the time too while visiting job sites as my dog comes with me to work. In the summer heat and winter cold, I leave the truck running if needed for him. The truck with the fob in or out only runs for 15min or so and shuts itself off. It’s probably an anti idling thing, but it’s annoying. My last truck, I’d leave the keys in and lock the truck with the app on my phone.

Good to know, thanks. I wasn’t aware that there was a time limit on how long it will idle, other than when remote starting. I’ve never had mine shut down on me but I don’t let it idle that long either. 5-10 minutes at the most.

I've been known to shut if off, get out, lock with fob and then do a remote start while walking into store.

 

Doesn't solve the length of idle issue, but will keep heater running til the time-out.  Usually long enough for a quick stop.

It does work good & it has held up to touchless car washes & power washing though. We’ll see how long the battery holds up.

      I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames?

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
