Has anyone upgraded to the 2-way advanced remote?

Positives:

1. Gives you much longer range on all your remotes
2. Nice to have the display to confirm the auto start or locked doors when you across a big parking lot or in a building.
3. Gives you a countdown timer on the auto start.
4. Plus all the other features like Tire pressure and mileage read out is nice when you’re out of your vehicle

Negatives:

1. Does not inform you of alarm status
2. Unit is large and I do find myself using the original remote sometimes if I'm going to places I'm going to have to carry my keys the whole time.. Or if my wife is not with me to put them in her purse:signs8:
3. It does require dealer programming to install.

Bottom Line:

I think the pros outweigh the cons of the unit and I would buy it again if I got another Tahoe. Hope this helps.

Um, you forgot the PRICE as the first "Negative." LOL

Would it be possible to get a photo of both remotes together for a size comparison?

Mine cost $208 w/ my discount. Price is dependent on certain options on the truck.

It's about 50% bigger than the standard remote. It's 1.75" wide, 2.5" tall plus .5/8" for the antenna, and 5/8" thick.

It also tells fuel level & mileage.
