Aftermarket alarm without pats system

[Craig Martin 2]

Hey guys...I'm wanting to install an aftermarket alarm/remote starter and was wondering if there was a way to disable/remove the pats system. Would make it easier to install the aftermarket alarm I'd think. Any ideas or should I just get the bypass thingy and put it in. I figure without the pats system there would be less to wire up and go wrong in the end lol

Just get another key, program it yourself as you have two existing keys, then put it inside the plastic area of the column.



Much cheaper than a bypass module and easier as well.

Not necessary! You only need the extra key if going for remote start. A normal alarm will work with the PATS, it works around it. Doesn't need to be messed with at all.

Yeah true but I will be adding a remote starter as well lol I did mention that above

you'll need a third key or depending on the remote start, they make a pats by-pass module. Key = 25$ module = 75$ your choice

I understand I need either a key or bypass kit...I was just hoping I could get away with taking out the trucks pats system so there was less of a chance of screwing it up.
