The CIM has a master code that is programmed at manufacture. It can be changed one time and one time only. A key/remote can only be programmed once. The key takes on the master code of the CIM and can never be programmed to different master code. Therefore, a used CIM can be programmed to use any remotes you have as long as it has never had the master code changed before. Of course the easiest way to install a used CIM is to get one that comes with recognized remotes. Then you will still have to add it to the car with tech2.
There is no back door way to start a car that has a bad CIM. If the car was driven, it does not make sense that the CIM would suddenly fail at just that time. Someone is mistaken I think.
