2016 Silverado LT

 

I bought an external keypad to unlock my doors.  I took it to the dealer to get it programmed, and they quoted me three+ hours of labor at over $300.  Anyone got a better idea how to get this thing programmed?  I don't mind shipping it to a better dealer or someone with the equipment.

I thought about putting mine there, but if I remember correctly it wouldn't sit flat with enough room for the door to shut. I'd try a different dealer. 3 hrs is BS. Mine didn't even charge me. I talked to the service manager and he said they would do it since I bought the truck from them. It literally took them 10 mins. They had to make 1 phone call to get it the serial # on the keypad authorized. Then they plugged into the obd2 port and programmed it in.

Order from GM accessories pick dealer install 36.00 to install. Why they would quote you 300.00 is unreal

That is precisely the device.  Do any of you have your receipt from getting this done at your dealer?  I know the guy who owns this dealership, and I think that would help get him or his manager to act right.

 

Or, if any of you know the technical description, that would help.

 

Shoot, if you just tell me the dealer who treated you correctly, I'll call directly.

when you checkout shows dealer install options click install

it will calculate 36.00 for install plus tax and the total. Take a screen shot and show him or pick another dealer

How is this holding up in this spot?
Hasn't moved. Works exactly the same as the day I put it on. I was worried about the the sun beating down on it, but it hasn't caused any issues. I think it's been on there since September of 2016.

It’s good to see longevity out of mod parts. Especially GM “backed” ones. Seeing the $300 quote made me cuss. Some dealerships just flabbergast me with their greed and shortsightedness.

I live in PA and I am hesitant to put it there as sometimes we get a build up of snow in that area.

 

Anyone put it on the gas filler door?.  My only concern there are the fumes ..

 

I had myY programmed yesterday at the dealer.  I was in for other service and I asked them not to mount the keypad.. so they just put the box I programmed in my console. Of course it didn’t work.  They said they didn’t know I needed it programmed.   They said it should only take a few minutes, but they have never done it..  I said I wouldn’t wait good thing because 4 hours later it was done.  They were having issues getting the email back..

Will this work on a 2016 truck?

      Needing this part.

      Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.
