Welcome to VATS Sucks!
This site was created back in 2006 in order to help those plagued with General Motors Vehicle Anti Theft System (VATS) issues in their mid-to-late 1990’s vehicles to better understand what their options were for fixing, bypassing or completely removing the system.
The information found on this site, as well as my knowledge, is limited mostly to the 1986-1989 Chevrolet Corvette model years. Much of this information can be used for the late C4’s as well as other GM vehicles, such as the Camaro and Firebirds (FBodies), of the same era. The FBodies use the same system, and have the same issues that the Corvettes have.
A Very Special Thank You To…

Scott does TPI programming and tuning. He has very reasonable rates and great feedback for his work. I would encourage you all to go check Scott out for all of your TPI tuning needs.
