concerning GM dealer code availability around here. no more getting code information or code cut keys from dealers. dealers will no longer have Trax available to them. they will now have to go back using GM road-side for their code information. many of the GM dealers around here have told me that GM has come down on them pretty hard concerning the dealers cutting code keys or giving code information. the dealers now have to document a lot of information before giving any code info or cutting any code key. GM told them that they will be checking their records regularly. the ones that I have talked to say they now have new policies in effect. it doesn't matter if they are the registered owner or not. they will not cut code keys for anyone that didn't purchase their GM from them unless they are working on their GM in their shop. this is good for security and this is also bad for the public. the public around here will now have to contact GM road-side or a locksmith to replace lost keys. most will not be able to walk into a dealer, show proof of ownership and be able to get keys cut.
I believe that locksmiths will be able to call GM roadside (believe it will be handled through Cross Country motor club?) for GM code information as long as they have the registered owner present with the proper required information that GM road-side will require. not really sure about this yet though.
any others have any information on this subject ?
thanks
