Car stolen..

suprisingly, I have broken into my mustang no problem before, w/ no cosmetic damage... after that, I just pop the hood, and pull the speaker for the alarm, or push the kill switch (2000gts have them too I believe) and cross the solenoid...

Its VERY easy to start the car, heck I can even tell you the color of the wires the harder part is to unlock the steering colum, its not hard its just a bit harder. Why do have intentions of giving your vert a "little brother" The best solution is to have a hidden kill switch for either ignition or fuel system, what I used to do was to take off the fuel pump fuse whenever I left the car somewhere "suspicious". Thieves dont have time to check for fuses.

almost imposible on a 99 up mustang!

your PATS antitheft is incripted into the PCM and the HEC module in your insrumant cluster. if a properly programed ignition key is not present you processor will not allow your car to run. you need the proper software to program and key, and 2 keys must be present. i researched this through work with a ford engineer when i was going to do my 03 cobra motor swap in my 93. any 99 up mustang is very secure from theft almost imposible short of towing vehicle. later wally

It would be hella hard to start your car without the key. You cant just jump the solenoid like in the old days. Sounds like they flat beded it. Hope you find it in one peace.
