VATS! how do you read your key code

My reading was in between #7 and #8 keycodes...2.10 k/ohms...I had a local locksmith with a GM VATS Interrogator check it; it was a #7. He had the blanks, too.

Chev dealers can read it and so can several locksmiths. Call around. They're not cheap either. I got a deal on one from Chev and it was about $24.00.

Eddie, what year is your car?
If it's '90 and up, you can put the CCM in diagnostic mode and have it tell you. I've got the instructions at home.

You can also make your own VATS bypass for a couple buck with resistors from Radio Shack and a soldering iron. If your interested I can post the info when I cet a chance, or you can e-mail me. Here's the codes and a brief description. http://www.asttraining.com/Files/vats1.pdf
