Your car may not have the right software installed on it. I had to have my 2008 flashed to a 2010 software package to get the VIM to work correctly.
It would only work when it wanted to. MidCity makes a much better product for VIM.

I had a Midcity module that would not work correctly in my 2008. I took it to the dealership and they reflashed it to the 2010 software. Worked great after that. Cost about $300 to have the car flashed to the 2010 software.
