Help..tell me whats normal please..

[Jolly Roger]

Just finished programming a new key fob for the 07 Tahoe. Everything seems to work just fine however I noticed the "lock light" or anti-theft light stays on for 30 seconds when I lock the truck via remote.

I dont know if this is normal because I never sit inside the truck while I use the remote functions.

I can get the "lock light" to turn off immediately by pressing the lock button twice on the remote.

Truck starts and runs.

Is this light normal?

I was so afraid I was going to get stuck somewhere and my truck wouldn't start or something.

Looks great - how difficult to set-up. No instructions/video on their website for the GM fobs.

Fob looks neat, but I don't like the squared/blocky edges. Prefer the rounded edges. Slips easier in/out of pocket.

Here it is..2014+

For it to work on my 2007, I saw my cheating chance here at BoostAutoParts.com https://boostautoparts.com/products/fob?variant=13368373706807

I was wrong to think that it would all go together without problems...turns out that internal boards from boostautoparts fobs dont fit the AJT housing because the circuitry is soldered differently than that of Chevy fobs.
I was able to modify all the parts pretty easily with an exacto blade, JB weld, fingernail clippers and a Dremel tool. Truly a 10 minute job and it all fit. Water proof too as far as I can tell.
I used a little paint for added detail on the buttons.

Not going to work with keyless entry though, right?

I'm sure it could be worked out.

Umm... It IS keyless entry. That's what the fob is for- you press a button on a fob instead of using a key to unlock (and subsequently enter) the door: "keyless".

So what modifications are needed to fit the 07-14's?

A clip here,.....a cut there,......a snip on that,....and a little bit of glue on them right there.....
It would be impossible without a photo tutorial Don, not to mention it would change depending on what functions you have on your fob.

On mine, the "brain" of the board was placed right where AJT had put a "support". In other words It would have crushed the brain or IC circuit of the board if I didn't do a little nip and tuck job....hard to explain...

I know at $80 bucks each when all is said and done is allot $$$ for a fob but I like it so much Im doing it again!....I ordered yet another boostautoparts fob and another AJT case!
So if anyone is interested Ill do a photo story of how I did mine.
