Actually you don't need a spare key, you can use a PKF3 from www.bypasskit.com or a xpresskit X04 from the same company. The advantage of this bypass is that with only a 2 wire hookup to the cars data wires you can bypass the transponder key when remote starting w/o giving up a key.  Also, when it gets really cold out this kit works 100% of the time. A universal bypass and the newer ford keys seem to loss signal strength when it gets cold, thus not starting.

Also some tips for the door locks,  bulldog security wiring chart will have you using relays and resistors for door locks.  There is no need for all that.  The wires I'm going to give you are listed on the chart but don't mention that they can also be used for locks!! Here you go:

Lock - WHITE/ purple (-) - Bull dog doesn't list this wire - its located in the drivers kick panel - this will lock and arm any factory security - test this wire by turning the key in the drivers door lock cylinder.

unlock - Pink/White (-)  Its located in the drivers kick panel - this wire will unlock your doors -This wire you will test using the unlock button on the door.

disarm - Dr Blue/Lt Green (-) Its located in the drivers kick panel - this wire will disarm the factory security - This wire you test by turning the key in the drivers door lock cylinder - On a side not a double pulse to this wire usually unlocks the doors also - though I never use it like that.

Also - instead of running a constant from the battery I use the 12 volt constant at the ignition harness (red - rated at 10 amps) and change the fuse to my starter from a 30amp to a lower fuse like 7.5 amps.  you can use this wire as long as you use the (-) parking light wire(MUCH lower current draw when using this wire)

hope this helps, Frank
