Default Remote question.

I think the answer is no.. but can I program a remote with only one key?

No. One must be in the ignition, one must be in the door lock.

Default Yes. If you are resourceful.

I believe you can use a spare ignition switch plugged directly into the harness but not installed to avoid the need for a key for the ignition.

Yup. You need to turn it on with a small screwdriver.

Default that's just brilliant. I've never tried, how hard is it to get at the harness?

I assume it's just under the plastic covers?
