Does an antenna ring and SKREEM have to bought together?
I purchased an antenna ring because the shielded cable that attaches was damaged on the original causing no start issue.
Was told that the ring was not VIN specific but upon connecting it I am still not able to start.
Did the bad antenna short the SKREEM or do I just need to flash the unit?
Any help is appreciated!
The antenna ring is just that, a passive antenna and coax cable.
You have not described the symptoms. Is it a "crank but not start" or a "cranks three times, then nothing till I disconnect the battery" situation?
If you can 'flash' the SKREEM, you should be fixing all of our cars that have bad SKREEMS.
