Few have said you can purchase the blanks on ebay for cheap. Passlock II is 2 generations beyond the ohm chip vats system > [@clinton or obama](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/clinton-or-obama/41675/31): > > you can bypass it just like a remote start bypasses the vats Most often more trouble than it’s worth.

If it works better buying another key that is VIN cut would be a lot cheaper than anyone’s diagnostic fee --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-with-passlock-2-on-1999-malibu/204263)._
