Does a firmware flash update to a programmed EVO-ALL bypass module delete the stored decrypted key and module options?

Question

I have an EVO-ALL bypass module that has already been programmed and installed in a vehicle. If I remove the bypass module and execute a flash update to a newer firmware version will the decrypted key that is currently stored in the bypass module and all of the currently configured bypass/remote starter options be deleted?

Answer 1

Yes, updating the module would normally require a reprogram. There is no need to update the module though once it is installed and functional.
