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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
