Car Alarms: Factory PATS not making me happy, hot glue, key cylinder


Question
I have a 2000 Explorer and it has the anti theft lamp flashing like crazy when I put the key into the ignition. The truck came with an after market Audiovox alarm. That alarm took a crap and I removed it. I disconnected the battery first and removed the Audiovox unit, soldered the trucks wires back and connected the battery. I put the key in and the theft lamp flashes rapidly. Truck tries to start but it just cranks. I hear the fuel pump running. Is there a way to bypass the Pats module and eliminate the thing altogether? Thanks

Answer
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 PATS security issues.

The total cost on this is
substantially less than what a dealership
would charge to replace and reprogram keys
all the time.
