Default vats $5 5 min fix

so i was havin the vats issue that is o so common. i tried getting it tuned out but that didnt fix the problem. the shop said that the vats is a two part system and they did what they could and id need to get the bypass module to fix the issue. that woulda costed about another $75. i looked on youtube and found two options. 1st adding the resistors. but i couldnt get an accurate reading from my key. 2nd splice into the wiring harrnest.

there are orange and pink wires in the wiring harnesst. tap into them and run a switch into the car. before you start the car flip on the switch and the ignition will come on then turn over the key. the security light will stay but the car will run fine. turn the switch back off once the car is started or when you turn the key off the car will remain runnin. it took about 5 min to do this. i called and verified with my performance shop that this was ok. they said the only difference is with the bypass i wouldnt have to manualy flip a switch everytime.

Idea: if you can't get an accurate reading from your key, the key could be the whole problem.

You have just one ignition key? Uh-oh...
