Hello All,

I now own a 91 non running zr1 (timing chain) and will have many future questions but the first is about the VATS system.

I have read the threads on the VATS and disabling it and such but it seems that you need to have the key and the code in order to do that (which is my problem).

I do not have the ignition key (never had it) and the dealership could not pull my vats code even with the VIN number. They claim that I bring the car in and they have to go through each resistance and see which one it is.

The steering wheel was locked straight when I got it (made it quite fun to load it on a trailer when you cant turn the front wheels, but now it would be nice to be able to move it in case I need to.

Will any code (resistance) key unlock the steering wheel as long as it is made to my VIN?

Or is there any other way to get the Vats code form GM without the car being in?

I look forward to getting to know yall and trying to get this car running as soon as I can!!

Name is Tyler, and I am in Austin, Tx.
