2015 Silverado Keyfobs - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

About 6-7 months ago my truck started locking and unlocking the doors on the way into work. SOme research suggested a bad battery in the keyfob. I swapped the battery and it was fixed....for a while. A couple days ago I went to an HOA meeting and got out and hit the lock button and it unlocked. The next few times I hit lock it did the same thing. Then it finally locked. I assumed it was ok. The next morning on my way to work it was constantly unlocking the doors. I removed the battery when I got to the parking lot and locked the truck. When I removed the battery, I touched it to the contacts a few times and it unlocked the truck each time. So I tried a new battery when I got home and it was still unlocking the truck without any keys being pressed. It appears that I need a keyfob. I'm finding what look like crappy ones on amazon and the online dealers seem to want over $200. I need to check with my local dealer and see what they charge.

Also, if I find one, is there a way to program them without paying the dealer to do so?

Hmm. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ado-2288...500/submodel/lt I just looked at this link again and it appears the price has gone up $20, but now it seems to indicate that it's not for remote start (unless I'm reading it wrong). I need to get the brake recall done on the truck and while it's there, I should have some keyfobs programmed. So I guess I better get moving on this.
