I think to clarify all of the doors on a GMC/Chevy with passive entry have the button on the handle. So it's not like the rear doors are magically working they are equipped to work. I had a Chevy Equinox and even at that low level with passive had all 4 doors equipped.
It locks with 1 click, but you can set it to beep the horn on first or second click, if you want verification.
No one click is fine. But you can configure it to honk on two clicks, and I know people who do that and every time they get out of their vehicle, they hit the remote button two times. I asked why and they said, "it's more secure that way".
This happened to me about 2 months after purchasing new. Sat on it annoyed but careless for 8 months. Went to the dealer, it worked for about 2 more weeks. Sat on it for another 3 months or so. Went to the dealer a second time to reprogram… it’s worked fine for 3-4 months now.
I hate the beep...must be my old age...already went through that in the 80s when everyone got aftermarket car alarms *beep beep* and we thought we were cool
silence is golden these days
I have mine set for 2 push beep, so I don't hear it, but just in case I wonder if I forgot to lock it, and I'm not sure if I'm close enough for the fob to work, I can be sure.I hate the beep...must be my old age...already went through that in the 80s when everyone got aftermarket car alarms *beep beep* and we thought we were cool
I do the same thing for the same reason.
Sometimes, in a parking lot surrounded by other vehicles, you can't see the lights blink so it saves me from walking back when I question myself on whether I locked it or not.
Well of course it's more secure, you double locked it!
If that little chirp bothers you, you have problems. I say get rid of the stupid panic button though. Not like anybody even looks when they go off, other than to see what ******* pushed that button.Well of course it's more secure, you double locked it!
Everyone should know, if you get in the habit of just hitting the lock button on the door as you step out you accomplish 4 things at once.
1. You don't have to dig your remote out and fumble with it.
2. You can be assured the doors are locked and don't have to stand in the middle of the parking lot beeping your truck.
3. You don't broadcast your code to thieves that do have scanners that easily defeat a "very sophisticated" rolling code.
4. The most important one. You are not the annoying guy beeping his horn.
Hmm, my horn doesn't chirp. Oh, I see. 3.21. Yes, I guess a chirp would describe it then!
Well, just like that, the horn no longer honks on the second press of the lock button on the fob. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
