I bought the 17 GM shock sensor to add to the factory alarm on my 2017 Sierra SLT. The dealer said it will not work on my truck because I do not have AUO code and that code was eliminated by GM in 2016. Is there anything out there to add a shock sensor to the factory alarm?

This winter the alarm started going off after a remote start cycle ends. When the car shuts off (after remote start cycle ends) there will be about a 30 second delay and then the alarm starts going off. I mentioned it to the dealer service and they suggested trying a different FOB before they started digging into it. They obviously had not heard of the problem before. I tried a different FOB and it made no difference. I have searched the internet and haven't seen anyone else mention this problem. I don't have a lot of faith in the service at the dealer, so I am wondering if anyone has any ideas? -
I have a 2017 Silverado Work Truck. Came with Factory power windows and power locks. It did not come equipped with a keyless entry system from the factory. It does not have any of the modules to add remotes for door lock entry or remote start. Does anyone know of a kit to add these features to my truck? -
I saw that my vehicle build list included something called UTJ-Theft Protection System, Unauthorized Entry and after testing it is just what I was looking for. (When a door or hood is opened after locking the truck, it chirps then blasts the horn. p2-11 in manual.) In my previous vehicles I have added a momentary switch inside the door handle so if the vehicle is locked, just a pull on the handle will trigger the alarm, instead of triggering once the door is already opened. I'm sure this has saved me on numerous occasions because I have returned to my vehicle to find it was triggered but never opened, so I figure the thief got spooked when alarm sounded earlier than expected. I'd like to do the same for my door and tailgate handles on this truck. On previous vehicles a switch to short to ground was all I needed, but I don't see door switches and I know nothing about the GM alarm. Does anyone have info on how the alarm is triggered? Any suggestions on best way to implement my plan? TIA

My Ford F-150 didn't have keyless entry so I kept my keys in during one of my extended overseas trips, using the keypad to get in and my keys always safe. I could never stand the thought of losing my keys 6,000 miles away and having no way to get in my truck and I wouldn't be able to get in my house! I learned it the hard way a long time ago, never again. I didn't know my Chevrolet came with keyless but it was attached to a fantastic deal I couldn't refuse so I had a dilemma. I could use my phone to unlock my truck so I didn't really need the keypad my Ford had, but I just may install one for $250 at the dealership anyway. That's just in case I lose my phone whilst overseas. Unfortunately, keeping the keyless fob around the new Silverado will cause battery drainage as the module will be kept active when the keys are detectable. My truck didn't lock when I was at the back of my truck. As one member said, the Hitch Safe wouldn't be good enough and he's right so it was no longer an option. One here suggested wrapping it in aluminum foil and I tried that. It worked very well and realized my Progresso soup can had thicker aluminum so I tried it with the smooth-edge can opener and, voila! I am very pleased to report my truck did not unlock when I held it inches away from the door. To think I was going to spend $19.99 for a can of Coca-Cola with a secret compartment! Now, my question is: if I used my phone to unlock the truck from a distance... how long would the battery last before it dies? Can it do a month?

I have a 2015 GMC Sierra Single Cab 4.3L V6. Pulled into the parking lot at work this morning with no issues. Went to back into a parking spot and when I shifted into reverse, EVERYTHING in the cab shut off for about 3 seconds. When it came back on I had an airbag alarm and a stabilitrak alarm. I backed into the spot without issue. As far as I could tell the drive-train was fine. I have the convenience package which is basically the backup camera, Bluetooth, and On-Star. Anyone else come across this issue or anything similar?
