I stopped in at what I believe is the largest GMC dealer in the area: Behlmann GMC/Pontiac/Buick in Hazelwood (North St. Louis County).
I asked the service manager if his shop had installed any of the new 2-Way Key Fobs. Of course he replied "huh? What's a 2 way key fob? Nope, we haven't done any of those".. I walked out after scheduling some basic service. They are very nice, but just never heard of the new accessory. Anyone in the St. Louis area had any success getting one of these super key fobs installed on their Enclave? I want one, but I am not going to let them experiment and learn on my vehicle.
You should have seen the looks on their faces as I took picture after picture of the unboxing.
("Unboxing" web sites abound for nerds like me who love gadgets like cell phones, computers etc. One guy actually had his very attractive, but properly clothed wife unbox Apple computer products once. His web page hits were through the roof!)
Hahhah! I bet. My dealer just called - my 2-way set is in. I also ordered an extra FOB, but they said those were unavailable. I am tempted to have them just order another kit and pay the extra few dollars so I have it now.
I know that for the 2 Way Advanced Key Fob you can have "Fob 1" and "Fob 2" ("2nd Vehicle Mode"). You can't just buy a Fob though. It has to be programmed. Just call ADI after your dealer gets your first fob is installed. ADI will do the install anyway if your dealer is Fusz, Suntrup, or possibly Sinclair (they do some work for Sinclair)
Better yet skip the dealer and go to ADI. They got em in stock and can install while you wait (mine took 90 minutes).
You guys are lucky living in the same area to be able to share experiences with installers and dealers etc. I am in the middle of nowhere and I bet my guys have never even heard of the 2 way fob. They probably think it is a new dance craze or something.

One of the most frustrating things is working with dealers who know far less about the car than you do. I called three dealers in the area and they do not know the advanced two-way remote exist. Needless to say, they want to charge an outrageous amount of money for the remote and the installation. Anyway to identify companies that install these remotes?
It's easy to sync the 2-way advanced remotes to your vehicle once the antenna is installed. You can also sync the original remotes too, but all the remotes have to be done at the same time. You can sync up to 8 remotes to one vehicle.
sorry to bring back an old thread, but was hoping that the OP wouldn't mind posting up the owner's manual for the system... I know the install guide is here, but in the Enclave that I just bought, it's already installed, I just want to read up on using it...
Here is the manual in PDF format in 3 sections. Hope it helps. Someone on the forum was nice enough to scan it and send it to me. I printed it up and cut out each page and bound it together to make my own manual to keep in my glovebox.
