VATS - Will it eventually go bad?? 01 WS6. Car has about 10,000 miles on it.
After reading tons of posts about people having problem with the VATS system and lots of other people out there just bypassing it - I'm wondering...is it a sure thing that it will eventually go bad?
It seems to me that a large amount of people have a problem with this thing. Every time I turn the key I'm thinking - I wonder if this thing is going to start or will I get the dreaded SECURITY light. I had a '93 Camaro that I bought brand new and the system gave me nothing but problems after a year or two. Got new keys made, new ignition cylinder - it was just a total pain.
Does the resistor on the key just eventually wear down? Is that the most common issue?? How about if I swap keys every month or so - would that help? The car doesn't get driven much but I still can't help but think I'm eventually going to have a VATS system related problem...
Thanks!
