My son's boss's daughter drives a 2001 GM car with the horrible Passlock system that has left her stranded several times and cost $$ tows and $$$$ to "repair" at the stealership.
He drove it to work the other day (45 miles from the stealership) and the system failed again, rendering the car inoperable.
He was wondering if we could get him going or if he needed to buy ANOTHER $$$ tow, and spend more $$$$ at the stealership.
Since we live in a low-risk area for auto theft, and no one in their right mind would steal that %^&#%$ thing ANYWAY, we had a solution.
About 15 minutes of time and $100.00 for "credits" to HP Tuners later, the car's powertrain 'puter has been permanently instructed to IGNORE theft warnings, bogus or otherwise, from the "body control module", and obey the owner's command to START and HOPEFULLY won't leave them stranded AGAIN!
I can understand why theft prevention is a BIG issue in some areas, but, where we are, being the legitimate owner, with the legitimate key, and getting stranded in -60º windchill conditions by a poorly thought out "nanny" system is a BIGGER issue!
This MAY help some others that are fighting with the same issue.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
