This might already have been posted some where, but doing some research to figure out what VATS key I have and was getting the run around from my local dealers, all wanting me to pay ~$20 for the information, even if I supplied them with the resistance of my key... Soooo. Kept digging around and found out this information. I don't take credit for this knowledge, I just google searched for a while. =]

Hopefully this will save someone a little headache.

Buy a $10 ohm meter from radia shack and measure the pellet yourself.

 

That's what I did, if you actually read what I posted.

 

Good stuff. Thanks!

 

Where does it say you measured it yourself?

 

That's kind of the entire point of the thread... You measure the resistances, then look up your VATS key code. I know it's hard to follow along, and not to derail my own thread, I'll BOLD the part that shows where I know how to get the resistance of my key (which doesn't tell you the VATS key number, and is why I posted these resistances for everyone to have reference to). Looking at your other posts, most of them are less than insightful or helpful, so I'm probably spinning my wheels with this one... but try to follow along with the bold text.

And the resistance values are posted on Fleebay by several locksmiths selling VATS keys.BIGHANK
