With diagonal cutting pliers. Also, an Automotive Security and Alarm Company will disable it for you. Let your fingers do the walking in the Yellow Pages for these shops.

How do we know you are not a thief seeking info? I and most others never post info on disabling anti-theft systems.

What does the owner’s manual say about this? There may be some good advice in the manual. I know, “Who reads owner’s manuals?” Well, if you have any brains at all, you will read the owner’s manual. If you haven’t read the manual . . .

I was not rude to you I simply said my policy and the policy of most on the site was not to give out info on defeating security systems,we try to look out for everyone and we know we can be scammed,it really was not my intent to make you angry or to make myself appear as a smart a\*\*. It is just a security thing (pun intended).
