Any of you who have been using the GM-SL2 on full size suvs and pickups and have been having the dead battery issues...

Has anyone tried the fix posted on their site about adding a 1k resistor to ground on the purple data wire? I thought I finally found a good module to use until all these damn dead betteries. Would like to see if anyone else has had good results with this fix before I go back to that module.

They drain on 1.0 thru 1.8. Pretty much on full size suvs and pickups. Every time there is a new revision they say its fixed, but its not. Now they post a fix with a resistor on the data wire. I'm not too keen on adding resistors to ground on the vehicles data wire.

iDatalink we use as well as the Fortin modules. It's pretty good modules and easy to work with the new 232 port.
