I had the recall done over lunch at Huffines in Plano and it took about 45 minutes (not bad).

The key starts my car without the FOB, so now I don't need to carry the factory FOB any longer. I have a viper aftermarket alarm and just need to carry the one Viper FOB now

This fixes an annoyance I've had since I got the aftermarket alarm.
