Proximity Entry & Push Button kits?

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.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By newdude · Posted

      Real Truck handles the warranty via GM.  We don't submit a warranty claim with GM, we have to submit it with Real Truck with a specific email/phone number.  Real Truck determines if the issue is covered or not based on the issue and pictures submitted.

      Some clarification may help with some of these issues.   - Rev Industries is/was the division of BAK (now Realtruck) that makes covers under the OEM names.  So if you see one with a Ford logo on it, or if you are buying the GM Accessories cover, you are essentially buying a BAK G2 cover with different branding.   - Rev Industries now markets under RealTruck "Advantage."   - As of May 1, 2025, the Advantage covers now have a 5 year warranty.  Anything before that was a 36/36K warranty.   - Parts for the covers are available from Realtruck or BAK.  The email address to reach them is [email protected] or you can call them at 818-365-9000   - If the entire cover has to be replaced, you have to go through your local GM dealer.  Service dept opens an RO, notes the damage and submits it as a warranty claim.  Keep your paperwork handy so they can confirm when you purchased it and it's within the warranty timeframe.  Once the warranty claim is approved, Parts orders the replacement cover.  When it arrives at the dealership, service will remove and install the new one for free as labor is included under warranty.   - The Advantage covers are not the latest and greatest Gen 3 covers.  They still use the old school clamps, elevator bolts, etc...If you want the newer technology, consider buying your cover in the aftermarket world.  That way, if you have an issue you can deal directly with the manufacturer.   - Finally, RealTruck has a program with many of their authorized dealers that doubles the warranty to 10 years if the authorized dealer does the install.     Hope this helps.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      Welcome to the group!  My '22 just crossed 150K miles.  Runs perfectly.  Oil pump belt will be done in the next 30 days or so and onward hopefully for another 150K.  Love the truck.

      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!
