QuestionI have a 1999 Ford Ranger 4x4. I only have one transponder key. Can I disable this capability so that I can just have regular keys made? If not, can I buy a bypass that doesn't require a key, one that disables so that I can use regular keys? I can't tell what the difference is between the Key-Override-SL2, Key-Override-Sl, adn the PAT-1 bypasses are. Thanks for any help.
AnswerYes you can do a terminal bypass.
There are keyless bypass kits yes,
but they run 63.00 so, it's kind of a wash,
cost wise.
But to make this very easy...
...there is a way.
You make the ignition code reader think the smart
key is in the ignition at all times.
This keeps the system from arming.
To make it happen, print the following
and give it to your technician:
Go get 2 non transponder keys cut at
the hardware store for 3 bucks each.
Get a universal bypass module (key-in-a-box style)
at www.REMOTESTARTCENTRAL.com for 25.00.
Then wrap the coil around the key cylinder,
secured in place with hot-glue. Connect the
status input wire to chassis ground and the
positive to ignition...no more transponder
key required. No Smart Key security issues.
The total cost on this is
substantially less than what a dealership
would charge to replace and reprogram keys
all the time.
This is what will work instead of the dealerships
profit margin.
Tell them to overcharge someone else!
