PK3 vehicles like most of the newer Caddy's, and brand new GM vehicles do have a "chip" in the head of the key. You don't see it but there is one.

If you do what I did in my previous post you'll eliminate the magnets completely. Once you do it and it starts, it should be fine every time.

what ?

i was always told that passkey is with resistor in the key and passlock is with resistor in the cylinder only

what gives ?
