I didn't want to call a lock smith, AAA, etc.
Ok, this could happen to you. My wife has a 2007 Mustang Convertible. She locked the keys in the trunk. Bad for me because I have a bad habit of losing things . like the spare key.
I thought perhaps I could remove the rear seats and reach in the trunk: NOT. The convertible top tray (if that's what it is called) will block access.
I took me about 1.5 hours with removing the seat, incorrectly looking up a 2010 MY wiring diagram, disassembling things that were unnecessary to figure this out. [links]
Here is a useful guide to resetting anti-theft system on your Ford once you are sure that the battery is well-charged. here
Technology has grown multifold in the last two decades. It is now integrated into every machine we make today. Ford cars are no different. They are packed with technologically driven features, designed to make our lives easier.
This method uses the door lock of your Ford to reset the system. [links]
Before you try the possible ways to reset the anti-theft system, you should first check the car’s battery. If the battery is drained out, the system is unlikely to read any method of trying to reset it. more
If nothing is wrong with the key, check the door lock. There could be damage to the lock due to attempted theft. The car might have activated the anti-theft system from damage caused to the door lock as a result of any tools being used to unlock the door.
Read the programmer's instructions carefully. Most programmers will automatically upload performance enhancement programs, but will not eliminate the speed limiter. Find out how to customize the program to you can set the speed limiter manually. more
Stock Ford Mustangs can go faster, but Ford installs a speed governor to limit how fast the Mustang can drive. The governor helps keep the vehicle, driver, passengers and public safe. Driving over the speed limit is illegal, so most drivers who remove the governor register the Mustang for legally sanctioned track races. The governor is not a physical part, but a program written into the car's electronic control unit, or ECU. The ECU needs to be rewritten in a process called "Chipping." here
Read and follow the prompts on the programmer. Act quickly because some programmers will automatically upload unless you hit a key within a certain time frame. Find the customized speed limiter menu.
Find a performance ECU programmer specific to your year and make of Mustang. These programmers are unlikely to be in stock at a store, so your best bet is to order one on the Internet or through a catalog. here
Turn off the radio, all lights and any other electronic equipment in the vehicle. Plug the programmer into the OBD outlet found on the dash underneath the steering column. Look at the screen on the programmer and, when prompted, turn the key to the "On" position in the ignition. here
If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware. more
If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices. here
