I have searched and found some great info relating to my vehicle.

Im looking to finalize my alarm/remote start decision.

Autopage 850

Compustar 2Wss-AS

And should i pop the pellet from one key and use a plain old cheap key to insert into the ignition? Or is a bypass recommended?

Thanks in advance, and if anyone has a Valet 551R they want to sell PM me. Mine croaked in one of my vehicles.

Use a bypass module. If your car is stolen and the ins. Co. Finds out you glued the transponder to the ign. Cylander they do not have to pay out on the claim

Well, i found out how to program the PATS from previous posts about this subject. Ford makes 3 types of bypass securilok units. My 2000 ex uses Kit #1. And, yes i have the 7.3 diesel and had to have another key made at my ford dealer this morning. The key cost $75.00 to be coded and cut and the securilok bypass kit was just over $30 bucks. Thanks to member NowYaKnow for posting the needed info regarding programming the Securilok unit.

My only other question is about my factory keyless entry. Do i just unplug that and stick it on a shelf in the garage? Is there anything I should be aware of before i unplug that keyless entry?

Oh, and by the way Compustars spread spectrum are not recommended for use in Arizona. They claim poor range and function due to intereference in both AZ and Alaska.

And Velocity,

No instructions, just the unit in the box. But programming it seems simple enough.

And here is the Securilok programming and wiring info that NowYouKnow previously scripted,

"I use the keyless ford piks all the time with no problems. Basically you need to hook the black wire up to your ignition 3 (-) out or whatever wire they have dedicated for the active out etc. Then run the red wire to constant. Tape up or cut off the white wire you won't need it. Make sure you secure the ring around the key cylinder good. Now once you have your remote start ready to go you will NEED 2 keys for the truck and the remote transmitter for the remote start.

Put key 1 in the ignition and turn it up 2 clicks and watch the theft light or LED in the dash. It will stay solid for a couple seconds and then go out. AS SOON as it goes out quickly remove that key and put the second key in and turn on the ignition. Again watch the light and AS SOON as the light goes out remove the key and hit the remote start button on the transmitter. The ignition will fire up and watch the light again. If that light is blinking hit the brake and shut it down because it didn't work right. If the light is solid, you did it right its working. You just have to do that whole process quickly if you don't it won't work. Give that a try and let me know if it works. Good luck"

just a tid bit for you... on the ford kit one... it does not matter, but on the kit two and kit three. the ring that goes around the ign cyl. has a black stripe on the outside of it. this band must face the outside of the cylander or it will only work intemittently, but like i said on the kit one it not matter. also i was told by ford motor co. that that product is not to be sold over the counter and that it was only to be installed at the dealer, so consider yourself lucky, i can't sell those kits at my job.
