When I was in a lockshop I always encouraged folks to make a "mechanical" copy of their responder type key (a standard blank with no chip in it) and put it in their wallet, etc., so they could simply unlock theri car to get to theri $100.00 key if they ever locked it inside. I have no ide how to disable the pats since my understanding is it might be wired into the ECM........?

I know I replaced a few of the GM ones and when you took out the ignition it had wiring from the ignition down into the steering column you had to rehook to work it.

Google "disabling ford pats system" you never know.
