NOTE: I've seen some of you guys have strong feelings about this topic. I'm not interested in how much you love your keys -- I'm interested in information on the subject. Thanks! :)

 

I have a 2017 Sierra Denali with as many options as I could find, but it doesn't have proximity keyless entry and push button start. All of my vehicles for the past 5 or so years have had these features, and I find having to dig the giant fob and key out of my pocket every time I get in to be mildly annoying. I've done a lot of searching on the forum and the internet and I haven't found any kits that say they work with the K2 (2014-2018) series trucks. I've seen lots of threads by people with weird fetishes for keys, but again that's not helpful.

So if anyone knows of a kit, vendor, etc. that could help get this started for me, please let me know. I've seen that it might be difficult due to the BCM but I'm willing to pay to make it happen. I would really appreciate it!

 

Thanks,

Josh

I contacted whiteautoandmedia.com and they were unwilling to work on this due to "liability" concerns, so if anyone else knows a similar outfit please let me know.

Best retrofit kit is a 2021 Denali.  

I would have gone that route, but I have a long list of other modifications I'm putting on such as Magnuson’s TVS2300 supercharger, and they told me it wouldn't work on the newer vehicles yet.

Fair enough. I just didn't want any of the key fetishists pooping on the thread like they have all the others I found using search.

Sorry Josh you're just going to have to tough it out using the fob and key it came with .

It's not that bad I've been doing it for years and I'm ok.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
