I'm looking for a reputable shop (aside from Champion) in the GTA (West side) that can disable the F55 (F45) option for me. I have a Tech 2 however the keypad has gone and is intermittent and thus I can't complete all the steps.

If anyone has a referral or suggestions I'd be happy to hear.

Thanks.

I had my F55 disabled from Manny at Dasilva Motorsports in Breslau (right beside the Waterloo Airport)

why would anyone want to disable it ?

Because when the shocks fail they are ridiculously expensive to replace, so it's better to go with conventional shocks and tune out the magnetic ride so you don't keep getting errors show up. When my rear magnetic shocks failed on my C6, Budds wanted $2400 to replace them, just the rears only! So I ended up going with a set of used Z51 shocks and the entire repair was about 1/4 of Budds price.

I'm looking to do the same, but with F45 suspension. If anyone knows of someone who charges a reasonable fee to use a Tech 2, please let me know.

On my 98, i replaced the F55 shocks with Z06 shocks, cut the electrical connector and attaced resistors. The car thinks the F55 shocks were there, so no codes. The cost was under a dollar for each resistor. I tried taking the car to a chev dealer and even with tech2 instructions they couldnt program that option out of the computer.
