Breaking link with key fob to prevent theft

Hello,

I am purchasing a used Camaro, and the guy wants to keep his existing key fob b/c it came from his wifes car. I really don't like the idea of him having a fob to fit the car. Is there a way to reset the module so that fob becomes useless?? It's a 96 Z28.

If someone can please chime in, I am picking the car up in 12 hours and just found out about this.

Tell him no deal. I bet he caves. If he doesn't sell the car because of a fob he is retarded.

Just reprogram another fob to the car when you get one, his will no longer work.

He stuck to it this morning... very odd. He changed his attitude when I came back for the deposit. He worked me hard, but we passed and took our money with us.

For anyone else wanting to know. I talked to a GM tech and the codes are wiped out and only the remotes present during the programming work with the car.

they can be but dont have to be

That sounded fishy, I think you made the right move.

This confuses me.

Is his wife's car also a Camaro? Regardless, if it now works with the car he's trying to sell, what remaining tie does he have to it?

Maybe he is sentimental. :lol:

Sounds like a kook.
