   That makes sense.  My daughter told me that sometimes when she hits a bump, it   
   will trip the alarm system.  Then juggling with the keys on the ignition, it   
   will go back off.  I guess it isn't as simple as just removing it.. That would   
   probably disable the car, completely.

   I appreciate your efforts!     
      
   RW> I'm told by two mechanics (Chevrolet manager and a service-man) that you

   That is fine.. I know we would be happy if we could just disable it, but that   
   doesn't sound like an easy task.     
      
   Thanks again.
