Answer 1

It's a tad late but I stumbled upon this question trying to find an answer to the same problem--this is what I found:

www.thirdgen.org how to bypass the VATS security system or how to repair it for 3rd generation F Bodies (82' to 92' Camaro). Hope this helps. Cheers!

Answer 2

Not sure why, but everybody around seem to keep calling "VATS Bypass" a simple resistor to install under your steering column or on the TDM's connector. But the problem with that is it will only bypass the key and the lock cylinder, while the entire core of the security system (the TDM or Theft Deterrent Module) still remains in the loop! That trick was born just to add a remote starter and made sense when those cars where all new - no more the case today. ...And guess what? It's exactly the TDM that is well known to die with the age of the car - even before her 10th birthday. That's what happened to my trusty Buick and is happening to other tens of thousands of unfortunate people in North America. Lots of people are even junking their cars since the time GM discontinued the production of the TDM back in Jan 2009.
