Vehicle was diagnosed with a 601 error code. Was able to get a quote of $989 where shop would obtain the computer from a dealer. If I were to bring in my own replacement, found here http://store.allcomputerresources.com/20chsepcmecm4.html , they will charge $200 to install. The website requires the VIN # and mileage so that they can flash it to a specific vehicle. Not sure if it will be the same flash as if straight from the dealer but from some online reviews I read on the BBB were not that great. Sounds like attempting to save the 600 bucks might be a bad long term decision. hmmmmmm decisions decisions Thanks again for your inputs! I am not sure how difficult it is to actually remove the old unit after disconnecting the battery. I searched youtube but could not find my exact vehicle make/model/year.
