key trick

Ever since I bought my truck I have been able to wiggle the key when it is in the ACC position and make the door open dinger stop. The radio screen also will go blank. For me this comes in handy when listen to the radio while working near my truck and I don't have to listen to that dinging noise ever time I get out. Does anybody else have this feature?

I'll have to check. Is it your 03 or 07?

Is that an aftermarket key? (spare) I can do that with a key cut from lowes, I think it's a tiny bit shorter than the stock ones.

The '03 Both factory keys do it. I wish I could make the '07 do it too.

Mine will do this too. Just read on the other site that you can grind a little bit off of the tip of the key and it won't make contact w/ the switch.
