Don't even sweat PATS. Hardly nothing to get disabled. Any tuner thats worth his weight in shit can disable PATS.

Warning: Thread Jack. But just for a second...
I'm guessing that if PATS is disabled, you can put a push start in the car without needing a key? Or am I WAYYYYY off?
You'd still need a way to power the car on... all the push button does is bypass the ignition

I have everything from front seat area forward. As far as ford goes, no one at a dealer has a clue. If it can't be answered with a mouse click or two than its an impossibility. NEVER have I left a dealer without being amused or disgusted. And ford racing tech line isn't much better. Treated like your stupid and wasting their time cause they don't know nor do they care. A ford engineer on the other hand would be great. But they are underneath unicorns and leprechauns on my hard to find list.
Sorry guess you struck a nerve. LoL!
you would need a switch to power all your accessories, the start push button is only a momentary switch that would only energize the starter while you crank.......and then you would need a way to over ride the lock in the steering wheel.
you could use a numeric keypad to activate the accessories if you wanted it to be trick, so then no one could just start it with out the code.
In between the tumber and ignition switch there is a recess that the key also turns that locks and unlocks the steering wheel. Once I remove PATS and then the tumbler I can just leave that peice always unlocked. I currently have the ignition switch relocated and hidden. Any idea where to find a keypad like that?
Apologies for the jack...
Hmmm, where you located?
You would be surprised how many experienced tuners out there don't know the black voodoo magic of PATS or how to disable it. The 2011 PATS system is different than the rest. The PATS signal doesn't go to the PCM, it goes to a different module which depends on model. For example the mustang uses the IPC or Insturment panel cluster, superduty uses the BCM or body control module. That module has the transciever that reads the keys transmitter through the antenna in the steer column. If the signal matches then the module turns the info into a high speed CAN permission signal that is sent to the PCM. Then the PCM sends power to the proper circuits,one being the starter.
I have a matching key and insturment panel cluster, but from what I understand the HS CAN signal frequency has to be mated between the PCM and IPC.
SO WHO KNOWS THE ANSWER!!!! Does the pcm and ipc HS CAN frequency
Have to be matched -OR- once the cluster module converts it from analog to digital and sends permission an I good to go????
I wonder how many cars have been saved from being stolen or whatever due to PATS lol

Frequency is only part of it, but that shouldn't be that critical. The transmission and reception of serial packets of data are what comprise the data transfer between the components (PCM, SBJ, IPC, air bag module, Radio, etc.). Typically there's a request/response signal, with binary encoding of data and command, as well as addressing to the appropriate device.
Signal encoding is usually dependent on frequency of a specific component, to encode data into a binary stream based on some known or expected bit spacing frequency. Simple serialization and deserialization/decoding once received.
