Adding keyless entry 2006 2500 Silverado

I’ve got a project that I’m helping a customer of mine figure out. He has a very low mile 2006 regular cab 2500. Truck has power door locks but no power windows. He’s fine with manual windows but is really wanting keyless entry. Has anyone ever done this?

 

We’ve put the BCM into remote learn mode and the horn beeped telling me the BCM recognizes the function. I understand that the passenger side door switch is where the fob receiver is located with oem keyless entry. My problem is that I’ve never seen a truck with keyless entry and manual windows, therefore I don’t know if just a door lock switch exists. I’ve got some door panels and parts so I can add power windows if need be.

 

If you’ve done this I’d love to hear how you did it. Also if you know of a regular cab, manual window truck with keyless entry, send me a VIN. I’d guess it’d have to be between 04 and 07 classic.

I helped a guy with a '05 2500HD SLE regular cab do this. I think the only purpose for these in a truck with no remote is that they lock when you put the truck into drive. Unlock when you put in park as a safety feature.

As I recall, we ended up putting a BCM from a SLE "king cab" ( no rear power windows) in his truck. The truck in the Junk yard had power windows and locks. We never plugged in the windows.

 The windows we never upgraded and left alone.

 Used remote model # LHJ011

 good luck !

The passenger door module (PDM) aka the passenger window switch is the receiver to the keyless entry system.  The PDM gets the signal from the remote, the PDM sends the signal to the BCM and then the BCM sends signals to the door locks to lock/unlock.  

 

Programming a remote to the truck is done through the functions of the PDM, not the BCM.  

 

You'd need to get the PDM involved somehow otherwise you have no receiver.  BCM is just the input/output device for the data from the PDM.  I would be looking at the passenger door harness junction, specifically the body side of that plug for terminals in the harness for the passenger window switch.  If they are there, then perhaps a passenger door wiring harness from a truck with windows and keyless entry and then a passenger window switch and matching door panel?  Harness would be needed assuming there is no switches to plug in the window switch to on the existing harness.  

 

Here is a thread from 2005 on this:  Can I add GM keyless entry? - 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500 - GM-Trucks.com (gm-trucks.com)

Thanks for the info. That link looks to be bad

Send him to a local car audio store, they can install an aftermarket remote start, or door locks or alarm which may have all three.  One key fob does it all.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
