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.

      AUX switch install

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Update for anyone following:    Installed everything as shown in diagram. Opted for 8 AWG from Battery Positive to a 50A resettable inline breaker. 8 AWG is tied into to 2x 12 AWG wires feeding a 6 way fuse bus in parallel (manufacturer’s design of what I purchased).    4 of the 6 fuses available for circuits are tied to terminal 30 of each relay. I tied a jumper from one of my spare circuits off the bus to terminal 86 of each relay. The trigger, terminal 85, was pulled from my interior by way of T-Taps from the X61A-X5 pins 10, 11, 17 and 23. This was the hardest part of the job. Even with the X61A unbolted and the X5 removed - there was VERY little wiggle room.  I added back up lights that I want to come on with my cargo lamp - but when I would check continuity between S48A-X1 pin 18 to its respective landing point on the X61A-X5 it triggers the factory relay… Instead I opted for a add-a-fuse on the passenger interior fuse panel (fuse location 10 - cargo lamp) and ran it through the boot on the driver side to my load. Did this to avoid introducing any electrical gremlins.   Note: Please check for continuity between the S48A-X1 and the X61A-X5. In my case wire colours were not the same as other’s who have posted. To do a continuity check you need a Multimeter. Completely disassemble the S48A-X1 and remove the brown face plate off the X61A-X5 by way of a flat head screwdriver - this was the only way I could get any results.   The outputs, terminal 87 of the relays, were fed into a junction box and landed at Individual studs and were labelled Aux 1-4.    At this point, all you need to do is run wire to your loads and bring them to ground. I created a negative bus in the engine bay, all my negatives land here.    For anyone having issues with all of your new aux switch lights coming on with the press of one - I noticed this only to be an issue when the battery wasn’t hooked up to my relays? No idea why, but it was quickly corrected by having my system buttoned up and functional.

      Well I ordered the Autel ts508, and it won't work on my truck I tried all the 2023 and everything it just says vehicle not supported lol   I'm able to send this unit back, so I'm going to do that, then I'll just stop into a some tire shops and if none of them are able to do it, I guess ill have to spend a bunch of money to get a good scanner..... Thanks GM lol

      Needing this part.

      Don't need the air tube but that's how everyone sells them. Most places won't remove that one piece and sell it alone. No money to be made. Hoping someone swapped theirs out for a CAI and no longer wants it. Not asking anyone to give it away. Offering to buy it but I don't need the tube. It's held on by a hex head screw and nut. Been all over eBay.
