Thanks, Dirtbike. I was afraid that might be the case, while obviously hoping it wasn't. I started another thread on the class action lawsuit against GM. This should be added to the class action as well for sure. What a load of horse shit.
Edit: I'm more a mechanical guy that's been working on hotrods going on almost 40 years, but on electrical issues it's not my thing whatsoever except chasing down OBD codes and fixing the problem if it's mechanical.
It seems to me like GM could have with every car's VIN a certain code tied to it for their technicians to be able to use the programming tool and create another fob at the dealership. If you don't have the dealer code attached to your VIN, these criminals would be shit out of luck unless it's an inside job. I just don't get it. They should add it to the complaint.
Guess it's now the IGLA or some Ghost thing I've been reading about. What a huge PITA. Damn.
