okay, maybe this is a silly question? do we get instructions on how to remove and ship the ECM?
edit: i am going to be traveling for a few weeks. is it possible to get on the list and then do it in august?

I'm the first one on the list
(in the supporting vendors section).
It would be a good idea to post on some of the other forums (HHR, solstice and sky to check for interest) as I'd like to have mine asap and I'm sure you would too.
Happy
day everyone.

To joeworkstoohard:
Removing the ECM/TCM is easy. I already removed and reinstaled mine when Vector returned my modules becaues they weren't (and still aren't) yet ready to do the TCM tune.
First, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
On the right hand side of the engine bay there is a curved black plactic piece covering both modules. After you remove the cover you will see the ECM - it's the one with fins and 3 plugs. The hardest thing will be figuring out how to unsnap the plugs - a simple puzzle really. Just push in on the plastic springy piece just to the right of the red part of the latch and pull the latch up and to the right. Then pull each plug straight out - be careful not to damage any pins.
Remove the TCM latch (grey) in a similar manner. Lift straight up on both the tcm and ecm. Pad it well with bubble wrap in an amply large box, and ship.
I like Fed-x, next day. Second day is ok if you are on the cheap. Don't forget insurance!

snowbred,
No, I just left the gear ratio blank. You only need to tell them if you changed tire size, so they can adjust your speedo calibration to compensate. On a RWD you could easily change gear ratios by changing your final drive assy, but this won't work with FWD.
