Is there any way to bypass the smartshield on my AU3 wagon?
About 2 years ago the BEM died and I was lucky enough to buy a "matched set" of PCM, BEM, ignition barrel and key all from the same car, for about $70 on Ebay. Its all worked fine for the last 2 years, but now the dreaded RED HAND stays on when I try to start the car, and theres NO response from the starter motor. I've isolated the problem to the computers not recognising the key, but I've been quoted $380 for another "matched set" PCM, BEM, ignition etc, and also $380 for a locksmith to reprogram my key, but the car's not really worth that. There MUST be a way or else AU2/3s would never be stolen???? If anyone could help me (by PM) it would be much appreciated. Cheers Keith Jeffers (NOT a car thief) |
