First methodology, your key no longer allows your Ford Mustang to start, you want to turn off the immobiliser of your Ford Mustang, but first of all you should try this approach to start it and take it to a garage check that you can not perform a less important procedure to reestablish the normal start of your vehicle. Actually, with your vehicle you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Ford Mustang), but if you don’t have it you should at least have the “code card”, it contains the start code. Thanks to this code, you will still be able to start your vehicle by entering it manually. To do this, turn on the ignition, use your centralized button to enter the digits, several quick presses (example: 2 for digit 2) then a stop of one and a half seconds to confirm the digit and resume, replicate the procedure until you have entered the full code.
