Correction:
Thanks 180 for the sourcing.
One additional worry on the last page of the PDF under the first bullet:
  • "Secret Key" is an identification number (electronically stored number) that is unique to each SKREEM, the PCM and all ignition key transponders.
Does this mean that the PCM also is VIN dependent?
If so, then the PCM is just as critical as the SKREEM and key transponders.
Has anyone had a failed PCM? If so, was a replacement effected with a non-dealer/NeedsWings part (eBay, Amazon, etc?)

This is getting curiouser and curiouser...
Cheers,
