    See Post #6 for beveling the Ilco blank.
    Artillery lends dignity to what would
    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Thank you! that is what it is the 2 notches at the top are not lining up in the same position as the other keys.

    Yes, thank you, I saw your post and made sure they put the bevels in. However, I noticed on my Spyder Keys the bevels are much further up the shaft.

    I beveled the Ilco blank on my bench grinder after making rough estimate marks from the Spyder key; figured I could take a little off until I got adequate clearance in the ignition switch. If I recall correctly I think it took about three swipes through the grinder.

    How do you turn the DESS off?

    I think that has to be done by a dealer if they'll even do it?

    You can buy the BUDS software and the MEGATECH license good for a month or more depending on what you purchase. The you can turn off the DESS. Then after the MEGATECH expires buy the regular license for your model to continue in trouble shooting all the codes you get. I have save a lot of money not having to go to the dealership getting the 2010 RT running for my wife.
