quick VATS question...

If a shop can disable the VATS on a 98+ V8 camaro, shouldn't they be able to do it on a 98+ V6 camaro?

Re: quick VATS question...

Why exactly do you need it bypassed? If it's because of the key or cylinder lock contacts wore out.....and you don't have the money to replace it. Look up the user Shoebox. In his sig, goto his website. Instructions for bypassing VATS are on that site.

Re: quick VATS question...

Will it turn over with the doors locked? Do you get a solid Security light when this occurs?
