Do you accept gm pass-key iii+ / modern vats delete (2006-2015) modules from Georgia?
Yes — we receive modules from Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Columbus and the rest of Georgia regularly. With about 8.4 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks, SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from Georgia.
Is there a gm pass-key iii+ / modern vats delete (2006-2015) shop in Atlanta I should use instead?
Most Atlanta shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm pass-key iii+ / modern vats delete (2006-2015) — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-region southeast — about 2 days each way.
Does Georgia vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Georgia requires an annual emissions inspection in the 13 metro-Atlanta counties; the rest of the state is exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Georgia and federal requirements.
Is this the same as your $250 GM VATS Delete?
No. That service covers the 1986-2005 resistor-pellet VATS system. This one covers the newer Pass-Key III+ transponder immobilizer on Global A ECMs (2006-2015). GM's tools still call the ECM-side check "VATS" on these controllers, which is why both names appear here — but the work, the controllers, and the price are different.
Will the security light and every anti-theft function disappear?
The ENGINE will no longer depend on the immobilizer authorization — that is what makes it start. The BCM remains part of the vehicle's security architecture and is not modified, so we don't promise every security indicator or function goes away. If the security light matters to you, tell us the exact symptom when you text the label.
