Tims advice is solid.... I installed a new style "silver" in my '02 SuperCrew and retained all my factory PATS features including progressive unlock..... peace of mind for my loving bride when she ventures to the city...
The Code Alarm units are spendy, especially when we add the PATS module and install it properly (NO scotchloks) but the finished reulst is pretty decent. Bear in mind that vehicles with "all the toys" are extremely difficult to set up and program correctly.... someone that charges more but has a good track record is the guy you need.
