This one shows the mod drilling a hole in the pin and attaching a split-ring to tie on to.

One comment suggests using a star washer or acorn nut to hold the cord onto the pin - I tried this the other night and once attached the pin would "bind" to where it would not release it to allow closure. I stated on the larger seat side of my Platinum - with no real value as there is not really any space behind it due to the subwoofer, etc.

I went over to the passenger side to try the mod there, and found there to be a pulls strap and a little different latch mechanism which you just pull the strap and it pops forward - allowing access to the tire changing tools, etc.....

so - at least in my case, no need for the mod but I know how to get it done if I need to access the subwoofer, etc

Well easy to try leave the window open and truck running and lock the truck with the keypad wait a few and then come back and stick you hand in the window and see if the alarm is set. If so we should be good doing this...

BUT...

I started a thread long long ago and did alot of testing with the help of others on this forum on this question.

If I remember correctly I left the window open to simulate me breaking glass. Left a keyless fob in the truck with batteries. Got out and locked truck. I di remember you have to wait so long before the truck is armed.

I then proceeded to reach my hand and arm into the truck those motion detectors are very quick I did not get maybe a few inches in and the horn flashing lights and all that goes off. I try getting in the truck and hit the start button no dice.

I had to go get another keyfob from in the house and then deactivate the alarm and then start the truck.

What I do to key for a spare is I have a keyless keyfob locked up and hidden in the truck. NO BATTERIES in it. Truck does not know it's there. But if needed you can use you keypad on the door get in and then place the key again with no batteries in that spot you all know about and start the truck.

I have three keyless keyfobs got the extra on ebay for $40 and programmed myself.
