Purchased this unit to use it with a 1999 Ford F150 PATS Anti-theft System. I thought it would be safe to assume that the vehicle was old enough that this system should be able to handle it. Directions on Fortin's website state that it works with all PATS systems 99-up and only requires one key to program. I was wrong. Spent no less than 4 hours on the phone with Fortin's Tech Support. Although tech support was very friendly and willing to help, after 4 hours of trying different ways to get the unit to learn my key, I was left with the tech telling me to purchase and different unit. I still have not given up on it, as members of a well known vehicle wiring forum suggest I have other options; but I will only be tinkering with it in my spare time at this point. Remote start still does not work. If I had to do this again..... and actually I do.... I would go with a key box type setup from a different manufacturer as originally recommended by some well known installers.

It did not work on brazilian made Toyota Corolla 2007. My bad though.

For the markets that it is applicable it must have been great, since you don't have to give one of your spare keys.
