CZ not letting car start??? why?

i sell a cz, and i'm working with the buyer to the best of my ability -- but it seems that for this 8, the cz is not letting the car start... Not that it won't crank or anything like that. it's a whoel diff problem:

when the CZ is on, plugged in, it seems that the security light (the motor sign with the key in it) lights up, and doesn't recognize the key. It won't let the car start.

I mean, i have the receipt and everything along those lines, and i even have the latest receipt for the latest upgrades and 2.0 map by Maurice, so do you think he'll cover whatever seems to be wrong with it?

From what i hear, the customer service for cz is astonishing, and his products are wonderful, so i hope he takes care of this case...

i'll keep all of you informed -- but, any ideas regarding this situation?

I've seen this before. It is just a poor connection between the CZ and the ECU. Not a big deal and it is very easy to fix. Tell him to remove all of the connectors and then snap them firmly into place.

That happened when me and izoomzoomi installed his almost a year ago. It's the connectors that are the problem. Make sure you put them in correctly, and start that baby up.

once we get this snowball started, and maurice get's it rolling, it should be a bit more than your pre turbo b/c of the 2.0, but we have to get this snowball rolling...

c'mon maurice...
