This forum is great! I followed the step by step on the PDF posted in this forum and i have my Xfire back on the streets! For anybody who is having trouble grinding the lock pin down because your key won't turn at all i had no problem with the drill bit. It came off in a minuet maybe. I recommend pushing harder then you think. Hell i don't think i had a really sharp bit i just pushed hard. Once you get going you can feel it drilling off layers until it was even with the surface then with a little giggling and twisting i maneuvered it out took out the lock pin and spring. Then i reinstalled as the PDF said and it started right up.
I do have a couple questions and if anyone can answer the would be great.
First question: Ive had my alarm go off twice in two days, once while i was driving the car. Has anybody else had this problem after the fix and is it possible this is a related problem?
Second question: I also experinced an constant semi-loud beeping as i was driving and it continued after the car was off and keys were out. I tried everything to get it to quit. I finally disconnected the battery to get it to stop and havent heard it since which is only a day and a half ago?
