I talked with several dealers about this problem 5 yrs ago---all told me that less than 5% of the vettes they sold--came in for the bypass--dont worry about it--likely will never happen--enjoy your new ride and keep the miles low--

I have a CLB installed in my 02 6 speed. I had the dealer recall which I guess was reprograming since no additional wiring was present when I installed the CLB.
If I have a low battery and am restricted in speed to 2 mph is there something I can do to get home or continue driving the car... pull a fuse and put back etc. etc.
I don't want to spend the bucks to reprogram out the speed control unless I just have to.

Even of the dealer is right in his #s That's still over 12000 Vettes with problems. Take out the later A4s and you chances statistically go up.

#1 You actually believe a dealer?
#2 "don't worry about it" is very bad advice.

Spend the $50 for the piece of mind.

I'm out of here before the nail scratching and hair pulling starts!

I did get some information, thanks for that but, WOW!
