random "pull key" message. help!
I have the LMC5 installed and still getting a VERY intermittent "pull key wait 10 seconds" message. I pull key, hear the little clicking in the BCM area and turn key again without a problem. Battery is 12.1V at the terminals. column lock has long been removed and no longer locks so I've just been dealing with this random message (maybe once a week or less) for 6 months or so now. is this just something C5 M6 owners have to live with?

No, call Complianceparts and speak to Richard. They have another module with an extra wire you can try that will most likely eliminate the pull key message you are randomly getting. I had the same problem with my 02 Z06. Talk to Richard and tell him your problem, he will take care of it, great guy to deal with.

I sometimes had that issue("Pull Key, Wait 10 Seconds") msg with my LMC module. I noticed it would happen more often if I QUICKLY put the key in and turn it on fast. I now put key in and turn car on at a slightly slower pace and have RARELY had the prob arise again. I've also had NO error msgs show up and the car stalls at the 1.5mph cutoff as I back out of my garage, but that also seemed to only happen with a fast start.

Like 8vette7 said, get a new battery!!!!!!! When the battery goes below 12.5V weird things can happen to your all the computers in the car. It can also lock you in limp home mode. The advantage of having the tune programmed is you can turn off all the options associated with column lock but a good battery also solves those problems.

I paid $100 to get the 2mph programmed out. Not a large amount when you consider what it would cost to be stranded 100 miles from home. I would also bet that $100 is a drop in the bucket compared to what most on this forum have spent on their cars.
