can someone take a look at this link? the guys says its already unlocked...does that mean plug and play without dealership?

I would suggest asking the seller the same question that you're asking here. If he says no dealer will be needed--but it turns out that a dealer IS needed-- you can probably pursue a refund through PayPal, since eBay has very strict rules regarding what the seller states in writing. Just make sure you keep a copy of all correspondence between you and the seller.

apparently he has software similar to the dealer and I tell him my vin and it is programmed that way. I think its worth paying NOT to have to visit the stealership. my understanding is it just needs to "see" the VIN associated with the car in order to function. hey but im no expert...otherwise I wouldn't be here askin questions lol
