My suspicions are the RFID in each FOB for a specific VIN are identical meaning VIN XYZ has FOB RFID 123 for any FOB mfr'ed for that VIN. If it were not this way then every time a SKREEM was replaced the dealer would have to enter all the possible codes for a FOB's RFID and places like Needswings would not only need the VIN to sell you a key but also WHICH key you are replacing. As far as I know they only need the VIN so that tells me VIN XYZ will have RFID 123 for every FOB associated to that car.
This applies to starting the car only and not the lock/unlock of doors remotely.
Well feel free to enlighten us on how the dealer completely disables a single key if so requested. Or do they just disable a fob and hand you a note that your car is still susceptible to theft should the person find the car unlocked. Makes sense to me.
Maybe spend some time with Google and enlighten yourself vrs your own theories?
And the DRBIII doesn't "know" ****.. it is only used to transfer the code from the PCM.. which is why if both are toast you get to buy a brand new set of keys to go with those fries.
