Is there a gm pass-key iii+ / modern vats delete (2006-2015) shop in Portland I should use instead?
Most Portland 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-country far-northeast — about 3-4 days each way.
Does Maine vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Maine requires an annual vehicle safety inspection statewide, with emissions testing in the Cumberland County area. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Maine and federal requirements.
Do I need to send keys or the BCM?
No — ship the ECM only. After the delete the engine does not check key authorization, so any key that mechanically works the ignition will start it. Existing keys keep working.
Does this affect emissions or readiness monitors?
No. The anti-theft authorization is independent of the emissions strategy; readiness monitors, fuel trims, and DTC behavior are unchanged.
