Too late for that now.

I have been a member here for a while. I HAVE read a TON of posts related to SKREEM.
Let's take the above post's list for example:
SKREEM Options
Discussion on bad skreem module / skreem cloning, no real resolution or information on bypassing / proceeding with an actual missing key.... pizzaguy being salty.
Possible SKREEM?
Discussion on possible bad skreem (the ol' start 3 times and die immediately bit). Suggestions on payin >$600 for parts from needswings. Wrapped up with owner "finding the chip." Does not qualify as "cheap" or "bypassing."
Shaming post:
Griping on price gouging. More talk of reprogramming / cloning, which I don't need (my SKREEM is fine). One buried post related to my issue by pizzaguy (who just a few posts away said he wasn't the expert) saying the bypass "just isn't that easy." There's no solution here, hence my explanation of my own attempts at bypassing with +12v to hopefully provide another perspective.
SKREEM unit part number:
Discussion on part numbers. Not related to my issue, as I know my part numbers and am not looking for replacement parts yet.
Bypassing, deactivate "Safety" parts/functions-
Yay a "Bypass" thread... Nope, just a discussion on disabling traction control, etc.
SKREEM Module replacement video for the Crossfire:
GREAT video on replacing the SKREEM module, which is exactly one of the things I was trying to avoid since it did not go bad.
So I did my due diligence, and asked what I believed to be a different question. At least different enough to warrant another thread. Others here have been nice enough to offer suggestions without immediately jumping on the "Why dontchu read jerk" bandwagon.
I am not just another dumb schmuck who has no respect for forum etiquette. I am a 45 yr old network security architect who happens to be good with cars who is giving his own time over the holidays to help a family friend in their time of need. I am doing so without griping or animosity. Perhaps you could consider reading more thoroughly before passing judgement and throwing attitude.
