Default Ok..... I Cut The Wire>>>

It works.... or as I think of it... does not work anymore.. lol.. So, now I can walk by the car... and not hear it unlock... lock... unlock... lock... You can cut the Bell Wire.. IF you ever wanted the feature back.. you could always solder it back together... but I won't have to...

My key reads .895 ohms. I assume this is actually .887 or VATS key #4?

I noticed on their website, they sell different fobs for 97-99, 00, and 01-04. They even list them differently without the boards. I have to assume that the fob you have will only fit the guts for someone with a 97-99, correct?

Thanks for posting the how to disable passive feature on the key fob. It was very annoying to me. It clicked all the time when I was near my car, even though it wasn't locking or unlocking the doors in the passive mode. It is now HISTORY.

I have the folding Corvette Key with VATS # 9 (3010 +/- ohms) that I don't need.

If you have this special need contact me and let's make a deal.

Uh... I wouldn't plan on taking it with you when you're snorkeling if I were you... Electronics and water don't generally mix well.
