Alarm Computer Replacement

So yesterday Nick was helping me install my new alarm computer. We were finally successful in getting the Immobilizer code inpuit into the new alarm and when he went to transfer in the key codes we read out from the old alarm computer we were unable to continue because the readout showed "TIME BLOCK RUNNING" I found one reference to it on Renntech that pretty stated we could wait from 1-16 hurs for this process to complete. We weren't going to wait that long so I pulled the new alarm and put the old one back in to get home.

I am wondering if anyone has seen this before and has any advice or knowledge of this. Also now that the new alarm computer has the immobilizer code input would putting it back in and leaving it for a while allow this process to complete so we can add keys later without having to wait? I am guessing this process is the alarm computer syncing up with the OBC. Seems ridiculous to take that long.

Thanks again Nick for your help and patience.

Thanks,

Eric
