Default VATS bypass module/chips

Been having on and off problems with starting my car. Depends on when it lets me run my car may work one minute and then not the next, I never know when it'll let drive it. I have found three different options: pcmofnc.com, Howellefi.com, and Gm vats bypass moule on amazon. Has anyone used any of these with success? I really would like to use my car without knowing if it will restart if i stop somewhere with it. Right now I only take it for a ride the bring it home without stopping because of the problem. The last I took it out I had to leave it at work for three days before it would start again. Thanks

I installed the GM vats unit. Fairly simple, eliminates the need for a key resistor. Biggest problem was getting the $()&@ing breadbox out! I think you can do it if you remove the

dashpad, but I was replacing the breadbox with a flat panel. In this thread (https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...orkaround.html)

the OP gives a great walk-through to install it. I followed his instructions and it worked perfectly. Good Luck!
