PATS Conversion

Just wondering, probably more hastle than it's worth, but what is all involved in transforming a Ranger without PATS, into one. Prices etc? Has anyone even done it? Or is it legal?

its a waste of time yes. Get a security system. I *think* PATs would be a ***** and in the end cost you more than security.

not any major gain. get an alarm w/back up battery, shock sensor and glass breakage sensor, starter kill, 2-way transmitter and a horn honk relay.

I put in the first gen PATS because of my V8 conversion. The module mounted behind the passenger air bag and the transceiver around the ignition. Grafting thbe wires wasn't to bad, the worse part was giving the RAT module a labotomy because it will fight with PATS for control.
