I just have one question... Why? And to answer your question no you cannot just unplug it and put it on the shelf unless you do not want a number of other things to work on the truck, because this is a multi functional module.

I didnt know it is a multi function module, i thought it was Ford Silver package keyless entry only.

I have never installed an alarm/remote start on a vehicle that had factory keyless. Only on vehicles that came unequipped. Do i just leave everything like it is and install the RS-850? Will there be a conflct with the current keyless?

no problem......wasting time removing factory alarm. what you want to do is disarm it, there should be a disarm wire for this...f150?

Ok, so the GEM has the keyless entry within itself. I thought the keyless was a seperate unit from the GEM.

So, to finalize my inquiry. Just install the alarm like i normally would whether it came with keyless entry or not, right?

thanks

wait a minute you have a ford silver system on the vehicle. Is it a power code unit? the "silver system" is not a factory unit it is a dealer add-on piece that is manufactred by code alarm for ford. Does your tramsmitter have a lightening bolt on the back of it? if so that is the power code unit that simply needs a new module to make it a car starter alarm. they usually pre wire it on the lot so all you have to do is replace the module that snaps on to the brain of the silver system which turns it into a gold system aka remote start keyless and alarm

Just checked, no lightning bolt. So, whatever it must all be in the GEM. There is lots of usefull info on here about getting around the GEM.

I just need to find the factor disarm wire for the GEM....
