Status update: I found a compatible wrecked crossfire in a local junkyard and managed to swindle them out of the components for well less than half what ebay wants. They key is broken off in the ignition, but all I care about is the RFID chip matching the SKREEM and the SKREEN matching the ECU. Worth it to me for the learning experience, and I can probably sell the parts if it doesn't work. I will update this thread with the results once I get time to install the parts.
when i get home,,next week i will try to get more info from Matt,,,first he said he would come there and fix the car,,or send the car to him and he would fix it. so hold off on selling any of the parts let me C what i can do. jim
