The fact that it just tapes into place kills it for me. To easy for someone to rip it off. Of course I wouldn't want to screw it on either. Oh well thats off my to do list. [sm=badidea.gif]

a proximity microchip reader to unlock your doors when
you come near enough. Then they will have to cut it out
of your skin to defeat the system. Or maybe a fingerprint
identification reader to activate door unlock.
Or use the remote entry key-fob Ford supplies.
I have a reed switch just inside the glass under the trim
and all I need is a magnet to activate the door unlock.
The magnet resides under the car like a hide a key but
no key.
You have to know where the reed switchis in order to activate it. Never locked out again and
secure enough for me.

I have to agree with you: too easy to rip off. Some people put it by the driver side wipers, on that plastic trim that serves as a cawl. It looks like it's part of that plastic so the occasional @sshole won't think of ripping it off.
I like where mine is, not easy to rip off for sure
. But then, you have to have my set-up and there's only one car like that

Great those are the same mirrors I'm needing for my restorations. Thanks for raising the prices.
I heard of a few people putting the keypads on the bottom of their spoilers that way they are not noticed.

Agent 47 mirrors my @ss...
Those are 1971 Stang with a custom cancel plate I made in lieu of the originals. A. 47 are not as cool but much better than the stocker ones.
Here's a different shot

Great idea, and location.
For those of you that are paranoid about someone ripping it off, how about underneath the bumper or something? Like a hide-a-key?
I really like this idea, and probably would get one. The only problem is I would start leaving the key in the ignition and that probably isnt the safest thing to do.

I don't plan to sell this set-up for customers. I could never price itcheap. Too much time consuming to make the cancelling plate where the OEM mirrors were. Then I have to buy a pair of mirror ($220, Virginia Classic) and still customize the plastic part inside where the original switch was.
As far as the key pad, it's got to be a b#tch to try to punch your code when the pad's not exposed to the eyes.[8D]
