ya but do yall think like any smart key system might work like a mercedes or toyota?? im guessing its just a little sensor that detects whenever the key is by it it will unlock the door and do all that stuff i dont think it would matter what kind of car it came out of but then again i have no clue about these things.

ok i just talked to "2muchricemakesmesick" he said that it is not a good idea to try and do the smart key system, he said a mercedes came in bc the key messed up or something and it wouldn't start or anything and it cost upward $800 to get the car to start. so that kind of sucks

here..
Ignition Kill Switch System with Keypad
This ignition kill switch set consists of an illuminated keyboard and a relay. Ignition kill switch can be disarmed with a personal 4-digit code. Special key for disarming the system. The system is armed automatically 15 sec. after the engine has been shut down. "Valet" function for protection at your service station. A red flashing LED indicates that the alarm is armed. Ignition kill switch system is not a kit. Ready to install.

I have a '99T/A with a M6. The clutch has to be pushed in to start. There is a switch mounted on clutch pedal,if you cut the wire going to it,the car won't start.So I put a relay in line with the wire and connected it to a hidden switch.You have to turn the key AND push the switch at the same time.My hope is it will slow down a theif long enough for me to get my 9MM!
