Re: Let's discuss the key fob transponder chip(s)
C'mon you guys. The FOB board is NOT VIN-specific, and we all know that - you can buy generic FOBs off eBay, transplant the RFID chip and the blade from the old FOB, insert it, hit a button twice - and you are good to go.
We have all known this for YEARS.
And even if you didn't already know this - "rolling code" would be your first clue that the FOB board is generic.
