2014/15 Chevrolet 2500 Express RKE Location
Hey, was just wonderin if anyone out there knows the location of the Remote Keyless Entry module is located on newer 2500 vans. I believe it is under dash just not sure where. Pics would be great, thanks.

It's under the top plate of the dash. The large, full width plastic piece that runs into the windshield. You need to remove the dash bezel and the A pillar trim to take it out.
The RKE module is mounted behind and above the gauges, you can't miss it with the top of the dash removed. I do have pics, but I don't think they give the perspective you want. Are you adding it or changing it?
If you are adding it, you may have a problem. GM may not let the dealership turn it on software wise. But then again, you may get lucky. It's only 3 wires if I remember correctly.

It should be possible. I have to check the schematics, but it's just three wires if I remember correctly. Positive, negative and one control wire. Your biggest worry should be GM. I installed the compass module, I used actual factory wiring and I wired it exactly as the factory does. The dealership tried twice for me. GM would not give them the software code to enable it. So it's up to you, just know the risk you are taking. You might do the work, yet not be able to use it. The BCM needs to know it's there and for that, you need GM.

It is three wires. Very easy to wire, yet if I was you, I would go through the trouble of wiring it exactly as the factory. I have GM wire here if you want to buy some, the correct size and colors. It was expensive to buy, so selling any at a cost helps me.
