Is PATS bypass tuning legit?

[rusty ol ranger]

Since i need an PCM for my 99 Crown vic with PATS...

I found a couple places that can tune it out of the PCM...anyone done this?

Its cheaper then getting keys done and frankly i dont want to open that can of shit if the programming doesnt take

You already have functional pats keys for the current ecm that’s being replaced? If so and you’re willing to spend a few minutes reading, you can do this yourself with FORSCAN.

But yes, it’s definitely possible for tuners to bypass pats.
