asked by on January 06, 2018

I broke out my ignition now the Pat's system activated want to know will a Pat's bypass modual allow me to start car with screwdriver since I broke out my ignition

My car has 175000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.

If you are trying to bypass the theft system you would need a programmer and it will only let you load it if system is working and you wanted to turn it off. It will not let you disable it if system is activated already. This is why they call it anti theft system. There are all kinds of different bypass modules and I cannot tell you if it will work for you or not.
