That's good news. Congrats!

Here's my update which I forgot to post. The dealer fixed my high battery drain issue with the replacement of the TCU but afterwards, my Comfort Access has been working only intermittently and lately, it doesn't seem to work at all. Can't open my door with the key in my pocket anymore. AND....I've lost FM, AM, and WB channels!!! Those options are greyed out so I can select them.

Man.....time to bring it back.

Sounds like the diversity antenna amplifier...my guess is that your new problem is completely unrelated to the TCU replacement...

I don't appreciate your choise of words Rudy.

WTH is that??? I was hoping it's related to the TCU which would mean they'd have to fix it at zero cost instead of opening a new case and getting my ext warranty involved again (deductable).
