    Ignition Key Programming Issues

    $15 for keys and remotes? This is $130 to program ignition keys and $20 for the remotes.

    Ignition Key Programming Issues

    I ended up calling a locksmith. I still have not made the switch though. He quoted $150 to program 2 keys and 2 remotes, so I am waiting on remotes in the mail.

    Ignition Key Programming Issues

    Thank you. When I bought them online they made it seem as if it was just the programming procedure and you're good to go. I appreciate the feedback.

    Best places to buy a PPV/SSV?

    I'll have to agree with @Bill 1960 on this one, there are plenty of reasons it could have accumulated miles. As for the auction vehicles, it is rare they are under 100k (at G&S), but you will find 100-120k all day long. $10k budget will get you in nearly any of them (typically sell in the...

    Ignition Key Programming Issues

    As I'm sure most have dealt with, my PPV came with drilled door locks. I ordered a kit on ebay to replace both the door lock and ignition lock, this way I could have matching keys. Install for both wasn't too bad (*FYI* make sure you get the door lock clip when ordering new door locks, it...

    Best places to buy a PPV/SSV?

    If your willing to give up some of these specs then look at Gaston & Sheehan auctions. They have about 15-20 PPV's per month and some SSV for auction. Its located in Pflugerville, just north of Austin, so about 2-3 hour drive for you. Mine is from there, its a 2013. You will be able to find the...

    Battery Sizzling

    UPDATE: Swapped out the primary battery and removed the second battery. Disconnected the additional wires & fuses (60 & 125), these are currently taped off, but will be removed another day. The truck started right up. Drove for about 30 mins, the smell and sizzle sound are gone. Fingers...

    Battery Sizzling

    Thank you, I'll try that and see how it goes. I might as well pick up a simpler terminal set-up as well, since the wires connected to the 125 & 60 fuses are useless to me as well.

    Battery Sizzling

    I am paranoid when it comes to batteries. I've shorted them once or twice, so I am always extra cautious.

    Battery Sizzling

    Is this easy to do? I am not electronically savvy. Is it as simple as not re-installing the second battery, or more involved than that? @Sparksalot is correct, this will be a daily/baby hauler for the wife.

    Battery Sizzling

    Gotcha. Thanks for the tips. I have a feeling one is already dead also, it hesitated on startup once or twice. Fingers crossed replacing both does the trick...I was supposed to buy rubber floor mats with this money haha.

    Battery Sizzling

    I disconnected the problem battery last night and it didnt start. Im just going to replace both batteries and hopefully that resolves the issue. What do you mean be sure they are matched? I've never owned a vehicle with two batteries before so I am not familiar with what to look out for.

    Battery Sizzling

    I'll keep that in mind as well, it does have some crazy terminal splitter (see original post) so its possible the size is a bit off.

    Battery Sizzling

    I'll have to look when I get home. 3 cables run along the firewall, 1 goes to the fuse box, the other two pass through some sort of relay before heading into the cabin. There is a fourth that looks like it goes to the alternator.

    Good to know! thanks again

    Battery Sizzling

    So in theory, both batteries should be able to work independent of each other? I was going to remove some of the fuses on the battery and see how far I could get with the truck still starting, but if I can remove the whole thing and it still works I will do that for now. I am not sure of the...

    Battery Sizzling

    Some of you may have seen my intro post yesterday, I picked up a 2013 PPV with 113k miles. After driving around for a bit, there was a bit of a rotten egg smell. Its not from the cat, instead it is coming from the battery on the passengers side. After driving, the battery itself was making a...

    New PPV Owner - A few questions

    The ignition was not drilled, but I would like to have a matching door and ignition key so we dont have to carry around a bunch of different keys. As for the seats, I am looking for info on exactly what you stated, I would like to find compatable plug and play seats and not mess around with...

    New PPV Owner - A few questions

    I found a key kit online, and watched a few videos, seems very straight forward to swap both the ignition and door lock. I am going to give that a shot. If all goes well, I will focus on the remotes afterwards.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    That's awesome! I didn't really wrench on my 2011 A4 or my current 15 GTI (not super tech savvy) so I haven't been on there in years, ever since I sold my 99 A4...I should try an log in one of these days haha.

    Thank you! I have been looking in that section also. Looks a bit slower, but definitely helps with PPV related things.
