    is it possible to do away with the shitty pin system in early VTS?

    How so?

    Cheers.

    put the code in, start the engine and unplug the keypad. Leave it unplugged. Write a note on the keypad saying DO NOT PLUG IN (its amazing how many people forget the pin then reconnect it!!)

    ^put pin in, green light comes on.
    press C then enter new code, press and hold C.
    Green light flashes, and better not forget the new pin.

    ^ With a key fob I find it if you unlock the car with it and then take it off the key-ring and put it inside the ashtray, that way its always there for incase you need it.

    I understand you just wanna use the key on its own right.
