Leesburg, Va.--The National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF) has announced that both GM and Ford have expanded their participation in the Secure Data Release Model (SDRM) to include the release of key codes to registered security professionals and service technicians in all 50 states.
Prior to this announcement, GM and Ford had provided key code data only to users in California.
"The SDRM continues to grow in importance and capability to address the difficult issue of access to security information for the automotive service industry," said Charlie Gorman, NASTF chairman. "This expanded participation by GM and Ford is welcome and an important addition to the body of information made available by all of the OEMs who have been engaged with the SDRM from the beginning."
GM and Ford join eight other manufacturers in providing access to key codes and other security information on a nationwide basis. The list of car manufacturers participating nationwide in the SDRM includes Honda, Kia, Land Rover, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, and Volvo.
All information on the SDRM is available on the NASTF Web site at www.nastf.org. The information also covers the registration process and qualifications necessary for a repairer or other security professionals to access this security information.
The Web site also provides a link to download the necessary forms to apply for inclusion in the national registry.
