Just bought a switch blade key for the silverado..

[Rollin Thunder]

ok First of all, this key is for 00-06 tahoe/yukon/escade/silverado's. With the STOCK keyfob system. IT does not work on 07 up which have FACTORY remote start (the 2 way remote which I have Is way cooler anyway) I dont understand at all what t3erry is even talking about.

If it does not work you fine. Move on. For others its a pretty neet find for a simple cheap mod.

If I can assume what T3rry is assuming:

Most aftermarket alarm/remote starter combos come with their own keyfob.

So he assumes Snowjay, with remote start, is using a *insert name brand here* keyfob, and his OEM keyfob is just sitting in his desk at home. If this were true, then the switchblade keyfob would not work for him, as well as the OEM keyless fob.

But there are aftermarket remote starter systems that activate with the OEM fob, requiring you to hit the lock button twice to activate the remote starter.

I am suspecting that is what Snowjay has.

Make sense?

No 2ELO nailed it right on the head. I have factory remote start in my 2009. 5 buttons on the remote. Lock, unlock, start, rear glass and panic.

 

[Rollin Thunder]

thats why its only for 00-06. Its just a good suggestion for the guys on here that dont have any aftermarket remote fobs or anything.

My mistake. I forget to "think outside the box" sometimes, since this is the 2000-2006 forums.

like above...I sometimes leave my key in the ignition (while its running and lock the door with my key fob (sometimes in the summer when its hot and I have the AC on...and have to run into the house...or an ATM or something)

if you cant leave your truck for the 2 minuites unlocked then you must not be in a very nice area. Personally. I think nothing of it. even in the vette. Also I would find it annoying to remove teh fob off the ring (which would take longer than to just turn off and restart, or just get the thing you need). Driveway, No thought. ATM, all of ours are drive through. Convience store takes me longer than 2 minuites so I just turn it off.

I'm bout to order one first thing tomorrow morning.

At home I leave it running without locking it all the time with no problem (sometimes I just dont want little kids walkin up to it and some 5 or 6 year old getting the idea to drive it like mommy and daddy let him sit on their lap)...we have drive through ATMs but I never use them...and convenience stores sometimes I still leave it running...

as for the key fob, I have my house key and key fob on one right...and the truck key is on a spring clip thing...(not the D-Rings)..so I can leave my truck running while unlocking the house...when I was at Fort Sill, I used to have my PO Box key on it too so I could leave truck running while going into the post office (not a nice area in Oklahoma)

DUH!!!! I have that sping release too and I have never actually thought of that. lol

 

[TqMnster]

It come in yet? Ordered mine thursday so hoping to have it soon.

 

[Rollin Thunder]

no. If its not in today im leaving a negitive feedback. I ordered it last monday, and I can understand not getting it until tuesday cause of columbus day. But this is reDICKulas.

 

[T3rry]

negative feedback wont get you anywhere.. all it'll do is piss off the seller and make him not care if you ever get it... if you give him negative feedback, that's it, after that, he's got nothing to lose, so he doesn't care if you are happy. email him and ask what the hold up is.

 

[TqMnster]

I figured mine would be in as well by now but the guy probable has one shipping day a week... and i probably got on the furthest day possible lol

 

[BlizzardX23]

negative feedback is left AFTER you receive your item...with a comment on the shipping time...enough of those and they'll start gettin on their ass for a better delivery time

Most of my items are received within 2-4 days...my Efans got here in 2 days (from the MID US somewhere)...my Dynamat and Dynapad get here in 1-3 days..Thats the way to get repeat customers...and to be recommended

 

[NathanJax]

A friend of mine ordered his last Tuesday and still hasn't received his either... I'm waiting to see what his looks like and the quality before I order mine...

 

[Rollin Thunder]

still didnt get mine. Ordered it sunday evening. They have had 7 business days to get it to me not including the weekend or monday since it was a holiday. Tomorrow im gunna be pissed. Thats a day longer than their site says it takes to ship.
