Nice Marvin! Added to the TOC. That'll be good for people with dogs, or putting stuff back there you don't want to slide around!

 

Anyone know the sequence used to program your keyless entry....so that it unlocks all doors on the first press of the button ? Instead of the second press of the button.

I assume you mean 2008? Seems like there's a way. Maybe I'll see if I can find it.

 

Yes....thanks. 2008 model.

I found a sequence where you can do it for earlier models. I tried it on my '08 and couldn't get it to work. But that tells me either (A) I did it wrong or (B) I need a difference sequence for the '08 model.

The tip for shutting off the seat belt chime was the greatest thing that's happened since buying the truck !!

thanks again - - - - -

Found this on TN.... Wanna tell me if it works and I'll clean it up a little for this mod list?

 

I would love to have this on my truck. I'm constantly in and out of my truck at job sites and I usually leave my keys in the truck. So it's a pain when I go to the passenger side door and it's locked!

What happens if you mess up a step? Will it screw something up or just go back to original?

lol I was thinking some f'd up Hokey Pokey dance... lmao

 

I think you just start it over again. It's 23F and snowing out, so I'm not going out to try it... lol

 

Yeah, I've got about 5 inches on the truck now. It would be an excuse to get out and clean it off......maybe tomorrow!

 

That's all I need...... a bleeding truck.

 

OK, I tried this two times and it did not work. Although, I think I killed my second transmitter - it does not work now.

I will not be playing around with these goofy sequences again!

That's pretty much the same type of hokey pokey recipe that I found for changing the program on the seatbelt chime. And it worked great !! Perfect.

It was a long drawn out formula. And it took me 3 or 4 tries before I got it right. I actually took my laptop out to the truck so I could read the dang sequence. Problem is you only have a few seconds to process a few of the steps. That plus I'm old which makes it where I can't remember the sequence once I read the next one !! ha

But it worked great on the seatbelt chime. The chime still rings but only initially and then it let's it go and leaves it up to you if you want to buckle up or not. Which I do.....it's just that I don't want a constant annoying chime over and over and over and over...ding, ding, ding, ding. I'm like....remind me once and let it go. And that's what the magic formula did.

I read there's a formula for the "all four doors open same time" key contoller.

I'll give this one a try and report back.

over 'n out - - - -

 

Now if only we knew the sequence to shut off the darn key in ignition buzzer!! x2

 

Yea...no kidding. Why don't they make the truck the way the customer wants it in the first place ??? Like how much would it cost to have the auto down power window also do auto up ?? I have other cars that do that. BUT...only on the drivers window. I guess it would cost an extra 4 dollars to have it do that. I'd pay it. I mean whats an extra 4 bucks after spending 30 thousand and change ?? Go figer.

 

If I want the key-in chime off I turn the key to ON, turn off the fan, lights and radio (if I don't want music). The chime stops after a few seconds that way.

 

Yeah, it's posted back a page or so. Let us know how that goes and if it works I'll add it to the table of contents and clean it up for a more "official" mod post. I don't really need it, and it's too damn cold out to be messing around with it! 17F and dropping.... damn NY weather!
