If your car came with the skim then you just need to have the SRT pcm flashed with the vin that's in the skim.

AFAIK, you have to add the SKIM system to your car since the PCM will be looking for it. I do not know if you need to swap the dash harness since you didn't have the skim. But once you get the SKIM you will have to have the PCM flashed to the VIN in the SKIM.

Yes, that's what I was saying, I don't know if your dash harness has the SKIM connectors or not.

And to be sure you are on the same page, once SKIM is activated on a PCM, it cannot be de-activated. The rest of the system must be installed for it to start the car.

Unless you buy a new PCM, that hasn't been activated, it will have SKIM. All PCM's made after '02 have SKIM. The cost of a new PCM far out weighs getting the other stuff to make it happen.
