Default New interest in LS

So I have the basics down for what I’d need for the swap. I’m going to be doing a 5.3 &T56 in a new edge mustang platform (03 v6). The part where I’m lacking any kind of knowledge is how to retain all the function for interior controls and lighting and also bypassing any funky security systems

I take it you're wanting to swap a Mustang...might want to specify that for those who don't know the term New Edge.

New edge is NOT a model we know of. What are you swapping?? Be more thorough....
