Keyless Entry Remote Buttons/Pad

[Xterrable]

Wanted to know of anyone has purchased and installed the Keyless Entry pad that lets you punch in a code and have the doors unlock.  Lets you lock your keys in the truck.  Its part No. 84182981 and is about $120 bucks.  Thats one feature i miss from my Ford was the ability to lock the keys in my truck while i go for a run, or bike or swim....

I had mine installed a week or so ago. Works good. We liked that feature from Ford's also. It was 145 plus an hour of labor to install while the dealership was installing my tow mirrors. They tried to charge 1.5 hrs@ $155/hr but they didn't give an estimate first and parts guy said an hr so they dropped.

I assume the keypad is battery powered?  Did they suggest to you how often to replace the batteries?

I had to drop off before they opened and picked up after service closed so I didn't get any information really. Just a card with instructions and the master code. I tried albeit not too hard to remove the shroud to see if it was battery powered and I couldn't get it off. Your local service or parts department can tell you much more. Sorry

Thanks for the reply.  Just ordered mine.  Looking forward to it.  Thats the one thing I miss most about my Ford.  That and the Key Fob letting me know if the truck actually started from the remote.  It had a feed back light that flashed green if it did start and red if it did not start, such as out of range or I didnt hit the buttons right.  I have already gone outside expecting a nice warm truck only to find I didnt hold the button long enough.

You can't replace the battery.  You have to replace the whole unit when it dies.  Awful.

Well yea, that is pretty crappy....  Darn.  Lets hope it at least lets you know when it is going to die before it actually gives up.

If you want to lock your keys in the truck you hold the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons at the same time for a sec or two. That'll lock the truck with the keys in it. Continued pressing of those two buttons will fold the side mirrors(if your truck has that feature).

 

I'm still not sure how, or if, you can change the code to a personalized one.

It sucks that it had to be programmed by dealer, how hard would it have been to make it self programmable like the key fob.  Pisses me off to pay dealer 1.5 hours to program this thing. They literally wait longer to get the reply find from gm then it takes then to hook up and program it

This is the instruction card that came with the keypad. The opposite side had the master code.

Bit of a Necrothread but does the Master code stop working after you program a personal code?  I just tried to set mine up, master code worked fine, so I tried setting a personal code.  I don't know if I didn't hit the buttons I thought I did (personally I think the split buttons 1/2, 3/4, etc. are easy to make a mistake on) but the code I thought I set does not work, and now neither does the master code.  Is this thing now just a brick?
