December 1, 2024

I wanted to buy your product. I had a couple questions I wanted answered before I bought.I sent a email an Justin wrote back wanting to help me make the purchase.I emailed him back with my questions.Instead of answering the questions he again emailed me just wanting to sell me the product.Why would I buy your product when you can't answer 2 simple questions?

I try to an understanding and forgiving person... So I leave this review only as a last resort. They refuse to respond to me after almost begging for someone to talk to me over the course of months (it has been their pattern). The unit was defective and left my friend stranded about 30 times. I kept telling them the situation over and over thinking they would answer and say "let's send u out a new unit" (no big deal, things happen). What bothers me is the absence of communication. Out of all my messages they did respond a couple times. One time was when I talked about leaving a bad review. Then they suddenly answered after many unanswered messages. They insisted I had to mail the unit back before they could let me try another. I mailed it back in a super padded package w a note written w all my information, order #, etc. I also messaged them over and over w the same info.
I saw the usps tracking was accepted by them. I waited and waited for response from them like "hey we received the unit..." I sent a friendly message asking if they got it. No response... Waited another week, sent a few more... No response. Got a little frustrated and more stern... No response... So now they took my friends 300$ and also have their unit back and after my begging for a response... It's been a long time and still nothing. They absolutely do not care about communication and customer service. The ad sounds all great until u need to actually have a discussion w someone or u have an issue u need help with. Then, they ghost u. And I'm talking about over a span of over a month, they wouldn't respond. And now after I mailed the unit back, it's been weeks... No response. My poor friend saved up her $ for this and they got her $ and the unit and we have nothing. I am an Auto Technician and I have my own business... I genuinely love my customers/friends and I know how important it is to make people feel safe and cared about. Someone there is simply seeing the messages and not interested. It doesn't take anything to have commination w people especially when it's obvious they r getting desperate and need help. This tells me something about the heart of this place and it's concerning. I really hated to have to leave an honest review like this... I don't want harm someone's business... But I'm about 10 messages past when I should have already done it. I was trying to b patient and understanding. I hope I can save someone else from this experience.

Pro Module
April 7, 2023

Ordered NewRockies Pro Module fall of 2022 for '02 GMC Envoy. It worked well for nearly 6 months then I started having pass key security issues again. Email NR and they told me what to check. Yup I had not secured one of the wires properly. Bingo I thought! But 2 months later the issue came back - light was on, wires were all secure. Oh no! Tell you what NewRockies is legit! Jack helped me the whole with helpful hints and then with a whole new replace Module. If you're having a pass key issue don't sweat it, buy a NewRockies Pro. They will guide you through installation and back their product. Life is good!

Wasted 3 weeks!
September 30, 2020

I purchased the pro module for my 98 chevy truck. Since first installation, I have removed and re installed it 3 times. I have checked switches repeatedly (shocker, they are still the same!)
I managed to get it to start on 2 occasions for about a day at a time before it stopped working again. I have been talking to tech support for DAYS, and there is no phone number and no other way to contact besides waiting forever on a reply via email.
When they do reply, it has consistently been asking if I checked wiring and switches... they literally asked me that when my previous message stated I had already done so. I am very disgusted with this. I wanted so bad for this to work!

Hello Brianna, we are sorry the PRO Module did not work out for you. The business that we are in can sometimes be tricky, we try our best to guide and help customers troubleshoot as much as we possibly can remotely. There is only so much we can do without actually being there, that is why our support staff asked so many questions and asked for so much info. Sometimes there are other things going on in the vehicle that can interrupt the function of the PRO Module, or problems that can masquerade as a security issue in the first place. Every once in a while, we get one of those vehicles that we simply have no answer to without a lot of extra data needed from the customer. Our ultimate goal is to help our customers make their vehicle reliable again for a lesser cost than the typical dealer price. If that hasn't happened, we gladly accept return for refund. I have sent you an email containing the info needed to return. Again, we are sorry we could not help you with your Suburban.

Installation hell
September 11, 2023

For the last 10 days I have been trying to get clear instructions on how to hook this thing up. The instructions on the website for my truck are unclear. Jack, the answer guy is a complete JOKE. I keep getting partial answers, unclear answers, short, rude answers. Jack, you have to know WHAT I am asking so why can you not answer me clearly. I wish I had never bought this thing and if Jack cant get it done today I am sending it back. My nerves are shot...I sent it back. Return was the easiest thing about the whole experience.

Did not work twice
October 5, 2020

Modules do not work all the time, and tech support is terrible only can communicate with e-mail so when you have a problem could take days for a response and is real short and brief. Only reason I am giving two stars is because they have work for me in the past but not the last two times?

I want to relay my experience with my 2006 GMC Canyon. I purchased this truck in 2010 and in 2011 began having issues with the Passlock system (key security). I might sit for 30 minutes before it would start. I purchased the bypass module and the problems went away and stayed away. Until November of 2020 (who could have guessed, LOL). Long story short, the original module failed. I contacted Newrockies, and 9 years later they honored the lifetime warranty and sent me a new one. Problem fixed, once again. My daughter now drives this truck, and Newrockies saved her new job with their prompt customer service. I specifically want to give a shout out to Justin, who went to great lengths to get the new one out in a timely manner. Can't say enough good about these folks!

It's a miracle!
October 19, 2020

I normally don't leave reviews, I feel like I needed to leave this one. I was kind of sceptical about the product because of the reviews on here. I took a chance because I didn't have another choice. So far so good, I'm 3 weeks in and still starting 100% of the time. Thank you new rockies.

After connection it did not have the light on the module, therefore checked the power on B2 with the ground A1 read 0 volts. Ran a new ground restored power to module and van started. Make sure to check incoming power to module pink wire B2 and black wire A1 ground. Therefore in my case I had a bad ground coming into the GM security module connector C1 pin A1 black wire, wich caused the module to act like there is a security problem shutting off the fuel injectors.

The module works very well we have it installed in 3 of our cars and never fails. They have problems in their support system. I was pissed they did not respond many times to my messages... only to find out they DID answer but their emails were ending up in my junk folder! I found so much stuff in that junk folder that wasn't junk at all! Well I was lucky I found a way to contact Luca Lambruschini which is an amazing guy and the creator of the module and NewRockies. Told him about the problems! They are working on a completely new system and website that will fix all of it. Guys check your spam/junk folder if you don't find replies to your return requests or support emails! You'll find them all in there! NewRockies saved my 3rd car! Yeah!

I paid $259 for this bypass. I installed it and it was detective according to the experts at Newrockies. I sent it back and I have not received anything from this company. I know I lost my money and I wished I had not Spent so much on bypass. Best yo go to the dealer and have them repair the passlock.

Hello Robert, we have no record of your return. I looked through the ticket that you started (#63454) and i found the tracking number you had sent us a picture of. After entering the tracking, i see the problem. It has been "in transit" since March 22. It is obviously lost in the mail system. I will inform staff to refund you ASAP as this is something out of everybody's control.

1990 Corvette
March 13, 2020

I got the ProModule & had a few issues at first when installing it that turned out to be because of Chevrolet changes to the wiring on the model Corvette I have but after some tense moments, once I found the right wires with the help of Jack in Support the car fired right up & runs great. Now I don't have to be afraid to drive my Corvette & worry about it breaking down. I reccomend Newrockies to anyone that has GM security issues, at least give it a try! I spent hundreds, maybe more like a thousand dollars on the car in a few months, nothing worked until I found this.

I purchased for my 93 Seville. The car is old and i love it, but the security was keeping it from starting. My normal mechanic gave up, so i went to the GM dealer next town over. He claimed there was no replacement part available. So i found new rockies and took a last resort kind of risk. 3 days delivery and literally 45 minutes of install time and it's like the car never had an issue. She's started every time since. I don't even worry about it any more.

After many attempts to bypass the VATS and dreaded 'Starting Disabled' message with the Pro Module, I finally returned it for a refund. The installation instructions did not match the wiring on this car, particularly for the TDM connection. Since returning it, my mechanic got the car running again by installing a new Passkey Decoder Module. I gave them 2 stars even though this module was not useful, because of the many efforts by Jack in tech support to try and make it work. Also, the refund process was quick and easy with a return PO Box in the US. This may work on some cars, but it didn't on mine.

After a year and a half of struggling to start my 98 seville, sh just gave up on me and there was no way to start her anymore. Tried everything, spent more than $3000, destroyed my nervous system to no avail. I purchased this PRO module from newrockies and Jack from their support was so helpful and fast even on weekends. I got her running and she is purring like new. Thank you newrockies and thank you Jack! I'll never forget!

Rare to see such honesty today! We bought their pro module for our 2000 LeSabre, even tried to install it with the instruction for the 99, until we discovered the 2000 is not supported by newrockies. Our fault 100%, it was all written on their website. We were over 40 days, contacted them and they accepted the return anyway! Refunded in full. I love these guys! This is better than the best! I would have never hoped to get my money back for something that was my fault and after the return deadline. I'm telling everybody!

After working with someone through email we discovered that this product wouldn't work for us. They gave us the information for returning, we followed the instructions and they have not responded after 3 attempts. Clearly they were waiting out the 30 day return period so we had to eat it even though they promise you can return with no questions asked. Thanks for sticking me with a product I don't need, I'm sure you money more than I do. This place is a scam, don't trust them.

Very Blessed
March 23, 2020

Thank You Newrockies! I fixed my 1997 88 Oldsmobile by installing the Newrockies Passlock Bypass Pro Module! My security light kept flashing and my car would not start. That's the lowest feeling when you live out in the middle of no where, on top of a mountain in the National Forest. However I was able to fix the situation, without trouble shooting in pairs, other than a new battery. It was not the battery. Money wasted. Yet here I am with a running car, because I came across this website and took a chance at beating all odds I recommend you check this out if you're in the same situation or similar as I was. I'm thrilled for my successful self repair- permanent repair I should add. Five stars all the way (be prepared to work, it can take awhile if you have no clue what anything means as I didn't understand any of the instructions and it took me 3 days to finally get it installed. I had to basically find out what every word meant because I'm not mechanically inclined and didn't understand. For a long time I stared into the car, behind the glove box, looking at unknown parts, (to me) at multiple devices with dumbfounded awe and confusion, however if you understand cars and wires and stuff this is EASY) Thanks again Newrockies

This is the TDM/Passlock 2 Security System to my 1997 88 Oldsmobile.
Before removing this module completely and throwing it away, my check engine light was on, with a general code saying I was hauling something heavy or my transmission was slipping. I ha
