Re: SKREEM Module Replacement NEEDED
None of the SKREEM-fixers talk very openly about what they are doing to 'bypass' the SKREEM. I think the only thing you can do it to contact them individually and ask.
As to this being something OTHER than the SKREEM, well, the "three starts and nothing" is the built-in sequence that is designed to tell you that the SKREEM is not giving the ECU what it expects. This means teh SKREEM is bad, the key fob's RFID chip is bad (not possible if multiple keys fail), the ECU is bad (not likely) OR the SKREEM is not powered up due to a blown fuse.
I'd download the service manual and check the fuse(s) that power the SKREEM. If they are OK, I think its time for a SKREEM bypass.
Where are you getting the "$1548.95" number for a SKREEM?
