I finally got this programmed & installed. Not thrilled with the shape of it. It doesn’t look like the one pictured on GM’s website & it doesn’t quite look right on the truck, IMO.

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

Having an angle like that  makes it look out of place, vs what they showed being straight.

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.

I agree, it does look out of place. Not sure if they kept the same part number & changed the shape or what, but mine matches the guy who posted a picture of theirs earlier in the thread. Left over old stock maybe?? It certainly doesn’t match the photo that GM has for the same part number.

You could set it more straight & inline with B pillar moulding but then the numbers would be angled.

They should have installed it so that the right edge of the keypad matched the angle of the right edge of the door i.e. consistent measurement from door edge to both top and bottom of keypad.  They just angled it too much.

The angle  would still looks out of place, the pillers are straight. The original post has straight keypad. This angle doesn't match our Trucks.

Right, I believe everyone is aware that they are universal. We’re talking about the angle that the keypad is designed at. Even in the pictures in the link you posted show what we’re talking about. It shows the new 2020 model & the previous model. The ones we’re all receiving are neither of those. If ours were straight like they’re shown in the 2020 pictures, that’d be great, but they’re not straight, they’re angled.

 

We can’t put ours on straight because then the numbers would be angled. See the difference?

Design of this one is better than the old ones. 

 

Wonder if this works for an 18

Wondering if anyone can tell me if you can use remote start of the app when you have the keypad and leave the keys locked in the vehicle 

ford does and I like that feature.  

The OnStar app will not remote start if the keys are left in the vehicle.  However, once started you can lock your keys in your vehicle and it will stay running.

I like the idea of it and the appearance is OK with me.  Can the battery be changed when it gets low or does the whole unit get pitched and replaced with a new one?

The top pic from underneath looks like you can change it... not sure once it is installed... might have to put new 3m grey tape on it.....

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 think it works off a sensor on the driver’s seat. I’ve sat in the car on idle on a work call for 1.5hrs using the truck’s WiFi in 100 degree weather for the video conference. Truck stayed on. But getting out of the truck whether the key is in or not, it shuts off.

I am able to lock my key in with the mobile app.

Would anyone who has this installed be able to school us on keypad battery life and how the battery is changed?

Thanks!

How do you change the battery in the keypad? Is it backlit?

Thanks for the info!

It is backlit. I don’t think that the battery is meant to be replaceable. The whole unit has to be replaced once the battery dies. Although where there’s a will, there’s a way. I’m sure it could be done.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
