Keyless? Anyone installed this?

[mattsvtcobra]

Hey guys. Some may say I'm crazy, but I ran into this product and always thought it would be nice. I know the key of the '19 is much smaller than the '14-18, but just thinking out loud. 

 

I think it would be nice to install in the gas tank door or somewhere not obvious.

 

Obviously we need to be able to set it to where the truck can't unlock if the key is in the truck.

 

Thoughts?

I was thinking about it, but when I heard you can't change the battery I said NOPE.

 

I heard it lasts a few years and once it dies you need a new one.

 

Not sure how true that is, but if that's case no thanks.

 

Also I heard the dealership has to program this, which is going to add even more money.

I'll look into it tomorrow and report back. I'm with you. I'll see about the battery, key in truck, and programming cost.
