if the key gets old/ worn out its been known to happen. u can disable the vats, or u can have a new key made, which is a dealer part aka a little pricey for just a key, but if u disable the vats u can just have a regular key made
Hmmm $30 key or $100 tune. Unless you just really want a tune then just buying the key with vats will be faster and cheaper....But your car will run better after the tune...little bit better. Just save the tune money for when its time to really make your car faster, cam swap

Verdad Gallardo interesting that this has came up because my security light has also came on, and nothing changed, car starts and everything is normal. i have gotten a new key, and the light still hasnt gone out. Im not sure what might fix this, i have been driving with this light on for months.

have you tried unplugging the battery for a few minutes to see if it would get rid of the problem once reconnected? Its a shot in the dark but, costs nothing except a few minutes to reset your radio presets. hehe...
