Long story short, my truck is one place, my key is in another. (Currently, I'm no where near either.)

I know I can start my truck with my phone, but I can I actually finish the "start" cycle without the keyfob inside the truck? (In my '22 Elandtra, I can place the phone in "the spot" and it acts as a digital key.) I don't have wireless charging in my truck, so if that's needed, it won't work for me.

Thanks for any answers!
 
Well, I left my key fob in the house, went out to my truck, put my foot on the brake, pressed the start button and guess what happened......nothing!!!!! Imagine that! The truck will not start without the key fob present. I can start it with my phone app, but it won't go into drive without the key fob.
You missed one imprtant step. Bring your fucking key with you when you start it. Then leave the key behind and go about your business.

It couldn't be more clear in at least three different people posts how this situation unfolds. That's why this safety measure is built into the system. It gives you the chance to bail yourself out if you become separated from your key fob.

LMFAO.......I can't believe after all this that's the best you could do. Come on bro....... I'm not the problem here. You've proven that perfectly.

Have you contributed any information in this thread that will actually help someone? Because I have contributed exactly 3 specific actions that can be taken if you become separated from your key fob. If you've got nothing of value to share, quit wasting everyone's time.
Whatever you say ,DB.

Yeah, that just shows how smart you are. Wine and cry like a baby about how horrible GM is then go and spend all your money on the very thing you complain about. Fuckin hypocrite.

You are an idiot. The whole thread was about STARTING AND DRIVING YOUR TRUCK WITHOUT THE KEY FOB. Not "bring your fuckin key with you when you start it. Then leave it behind and go about your buisness".

Wow! Just blows my mind. I've seen posts other times claiming that you don't comprehend the things you read, but this just proves it. Go back to pre-school and learn how to read, DB.

Read the title and opening line, its in giant letters for all to see. Then read the rest. There's multiple questions and I answered several of them.

I'm sorry you actually went out and tried to start your rig without a key and then posted about it......oh my. I do appreciate the humor in it tho, cause that is some funny shit.
 
Until you ignore him you will keep getting pulled into his screwed-up world. When you do not see his posts, it makes for a better life experience.
Easy Dave, he's not gonna spoon with you dude.....maybe.

If he ignores me, he'll be a 7th grade chick like you, and that's a weak sister move. You have to pick your poison.

You figure out where your grill cover is yet or you just gonna play stoopid next time the weather gets bad too?

Hey DB, I know what the title says. Unlike you, I know how to read. Look at his post and read it. To make things easy for you, so your little pea brain doesn't get overwhelmed, I quoted his post above. His exact question was "I know I can start my truck with my phone, but I can I actually finish the "start" cycle without the keyfob inside the truck?", and the answer is NO.

All the bullshit that you posted, whether it is right or wrong, is absolutely irrelevant to the OPs original question and belongs in a different thread. No wonder nobody knew why you were arguing about it. We were talking about two totally different situations cause you're too stupid to understand the words you read.

Bravo, Einstein, Bravo!!!

Dude, just take the L, you've rightfully earned that today when you tried to start your truck without the key........nobody ever does that, they'd just walk back in the house and get the damn key.

Also, I'm working to evaluate another potential solution to the issue of fob separation. I'll post what I've find out. Will you or Dave be posting anything that might help a guy out or just more empty headed takes?

Not gonna block DB Axe just yet. I think it's funny to read some of the rediculous and worthless bullshit that he says. I mean, the DB wines and cries about how horrible GM is and then goes and spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on their vehicles. I think he bitches just to hear himself bitch. Or maybe he's looking for attention cause his wife won't pay attention to him anymore either. Or maybe he has a small pecker.

"Just yet"...... you're afraid you'll miss the good stuff......LMFAO.


$256k cash and it came with a license to bitch after 35 years of hardly any issues. I know GM cucks don't like it, but that doesn't bother me much. I've posted everything I think is really good about the trucks and everything that's really bad. There's plenty of both, it'll continue just the same.

Did you go out and practice driving your truck without the key tonight or are you gonna waste more time here doing nothing accomplishing nothing?

Well while I can certainly understand your position based on what I have seen him post prior to my placing him on ignore you and I have a different way of looking at people such as this. The inescapable conclusion is at least for me the best way to deal with petty people who degrade and insult at the first opportunity in any discussion are just not worth my time.

The conclusions that you have come to are not something that I can refute, nor can I confirm however, in his body of prior postings before I stopped reading anything he posts much of what you have suggested is in fact reasonable. Do not know maybe he was an abused child but, in any case, it is better to just step away and not further encourage his unacceptable behavior.

When in any negotiation and I don't care if is for a house, car, truck or a 500m contract the first person who gets emotional meaning insults and innuendo just as a couple of examples, will lose almost every time. The case is abundantly clear when someone who is incompetent displays these traits, it is best to just move on and tell them to Have A Nice Day! ;)

Dave giving life advice is like the democrats giving immigration and financial aid advice.

"Maybe he was abused"...... I'd be ashamed to post something as thoughtless as that and it's a huge disservice to anyone that has suffered that fate. Me........I've had a great life and family and I hope everyone gets to experience that, even you.

Negotiating...........I think you just described yourself when asking your wife if you can change the oil in the driveway......why does a man need to negotiate that.......LMFAO.

You have a valid point, Dave. Maybe he was an abused child. Or maybe he was just dropped on his head a few times too many. Don't know why he feels the need to insult and disrespect people. He is a tough guy behind a keyboard, but I guarantee you that he wouldn't speak to my face that way, cause if he did, we would be having a very different conversation right now.

I don't insult or disrespect anyone unless I have a reason. But Axe being the douchebag that he is felt the need to disrespect me, so all gloves are off. I'm just sorry to the rest of the group that he made me sink to his level temporarily.

Since we all know the DB has to have the last word, just like a 5 year old kid, let's wait and see his bullshit comments. Cause you know he can't just let it go.

Do you have anything of value to contribute? I'm still waiting for just one statement from you that might actually help someone.

Dave has never had a valid point........but I'm happy you found an internet friend to help you cope. The only thing in that entire useless post you said that was accurate is "I'm sorry" .........I definitely agree with that. You little turds sure do crack me up.

The final word is gonna be when I post the other information on key fob separation once I validate them. But you're not concerned with helpful data and facts, so I'll just keep jerking your chain a while longer cause you're still a willing participant.

Fuck you douchebag. You're a big man behind that keyboard. Come over here and talk like that. See what happens.

I did not look to see what he posted that your last post was directed to however, one can only imagine. He will keep trying to push any touchpoints he thinks you have to solicit a response. These types of people thrive online because everything is as you accurately point out from "behind a keyboard" and this empowers them because there is no accountability.

There is no way to avoid people like this except to ignore them because they will always be stalking you, posting snide comments about one of your posts just to get a reaction to achieve some type of "gratification". :eek: He has a hole in his soul, and he can never get enough.
 
Buy mine. Lol
Man is it gonna be hard to resell these pigs with all the bad carfax data, news articles, YouTube videos, forum posts, Reddit posts, etc. Why would anyone pony up for one of these rigs.

Maybe they'll have a government sponsored "Cash for Clunkers" program so we can at least get $5k for them.
