The other thing with this is.... do GM vehicles have keypads on the doors like Fords do? Just give whoever the code if so. There's got to be a way to lock the fob inside the vehicle. (owner's manual)

There's got to be a way to lock the fob inside the vehicle. (owner's manual)My wife has a 2020 GMC Acadia AT4.......no key.......no keyhole......no keypad. You must have the fob on your person for things to work. My guess is that the new GMC trucks are the same way.
There has got to be a key and There’s got to be a keyhole somewhere. Our Fusions have a cover that pops off the outside door handle exposing the keyhole. Otherwise How does GM expect people to get in their cars if the fob craps out or if the car battery goes dead?
If the battery is out of the FOB, my understanding is that it won't start unless the FOB is in the super secret spot. Thus, you could hide a FOB without battery in the vehicle (out of the rain/snow/salt/dust) and then hide a key below (or hide the FOB below hoping it will survive). Use key to open door, retrieve backup FOB, put it in the super secret spot and start truck?Granted I don't have one, but this is what the internet says.https://dashboardsymbols.com/2015/01/general-motors-dead-key-fob-help-part-ii/I also have a simple key on my neck lanyard along with a button compass, whistle and lighter.
Then call the tow truck because the FORD breaks down on you!!
My buddy uses the faraday cage with great results. He uses it when fishing. He takes the key out of the fob and stashes it and then puts the fob in the faraday cage and hides it in the truck. The guy that shuttles his truck down river knows the situation ahead of time. Never an issue. Been doing it for years.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
