Default free VATS removal

In case anyone didn’t know, you can remove VATS from your swap project for free.
before pulling your donor engine start the vehicle and let it run.
find the BCM and remove all the wiring connections from it.
this keeps the BCM from communicating with the ECM.
the security light should illuminate at this time.
shut down the engine.

IF you already pulled your donor engine/ECM this can still be done by finding a running “like” vehicle by swapping the donor ECM into the running vehicle and performing a 30 minute key relearn. Then follow the above instructions…

I have read that guys have done this all the way to 2015 so I would think so. Can’t hurt to try and report back…
