Adding Autosense Hands Free to Powered Hatch / OR Anyone have Experience with Aftermarket Hands Free Sensor?

[fsu_prov]

Anyone have any experience with adding the autosense module to a high trim suburban/tahoe? 

 

2026 Chevy Suburban High Country - Did not have the "tech pkg" but does have the High Country Deluxe pkg. Absolutely wild this is not a standard feature. 

 

OEM route - if it's already a powered hatch, has anyone tried to install the module for the hands free and tried to get GM to reprogram the BCM? 

 

Aftermarket route - if OEM is impossible or too much of hassle, does anyone have any experience with aftermarket hands free sensor options?  

 

I know Ensight Automotive does the conversions, and I've read a little about ISS Automotive. Any experience with these options/vendors?

would not expect gm to allow upgrading the truck's software to enable the oem setup to work.  gm really wants you to buy the truck w all the options, when it's built.  Sometimes,  they do have the programming in the truck and it just takes installing the hardware, and for some things, they do allow programming changes (like for side mirror changes).

I have this on my 2021 Suburban HC and I turned it off. Anytime I washed the truck, wiping the tailgate, the hatch would open on me. I hated that and don't really need that feature. Not a big deal to me.

You aren't missing much. 

 

I have it in my 2025 Equinox EV which has the AutoSense and it drives you nuts.  Any time you walk by the back of the truck, if you are in the path long enough to hit the 4th beep it opens.  It opens way too easily and unwantedly.   

 

If you "gotta" have it, GM will be of zero help to add it, so don't even bother going that route.
