EIS Problem
Hey so I got a issue with my EIS, and its kept on getting worse. Basically it started around a year ago where my keyless go stopped working, I didn't think much and just inserted the key. However, a few months go by and on a cold winter morning it wouldn't turn on. I searched around and I figured maybe it was cold so I blew hot air at it and it worked right away. fast forward almost a year and it takes a heat gun and like 20 minutes to start it. I am looking to get it replaced, is anyone able to either replace it or refer me to anyone that would be able to. I heard because its FBS4 its not that easy.

This is a security part few professionals have access to.
Call around, let them know it is the "EIS - key slot" not the usual "ESL - steering lock".
