? About Remote Start - 2002 Mustang Coupe 3.8L Automatic
Hello,
Thanks for any help you can provide. I just bought a 2002 Coupe 3.8L Automatic. The guy who sold it to me had a remote start installed, it seems to work just fine. But he could only give me one key, he said the other one was used for the remote start. I asked him if I could unplug it and he said he had no idea where it was in the car. So now I would like to make some duplicate PATS keys but I only have one key so I would need to go to the dealer and pay. Is it possible the key is inserted into the remote start module? The more I think about it, they can't work that way because an extra key would be in the car for the thief. Was the chip probably removed from the key and placed in the steering column? And if this was the case, Could I get a blank cut in the shape of my key, and would it work to start the car because the chip it needs is already in the steering column? Thanks for your thoughts and any help you can provide. Brian |

..boB,
Thanks for your input. I guess that's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if these bypass relays actually use a key or not. The information on the web about them is very minimal. I'm guessing they broke the key open and put the PATS chip in the steering column. I ordered two blank PATS keys on Ebay and I am going to get them cut at the hardware store. If they work, I guess I'll know where the other key (or at least part of it is). Can anyone else confirm that the physical key is NOT used inside the PATS bypass relay? Thanks again for your help.

They likely glued the key near the steering column - it is common to do.

The installer broke off the key so it couldn't be used and installed it inside the steering column. I made an extra key before giving one to the installer. |
