Interface evolution

Do you remember y

First vehicle equipped with a theft deterrent system you i t ll d RS t ?installed a RS system on?

Which bypass did you use?

How complex was it to understand/bypass?

PATS 40 or 80 bit

PATS 40 or 80 bit

PATS 80 bit encryption was introduce in 2011 First 80 bit vehicles : 2011 F150 = 80 bit 2011 Explorer = 80 bit 2011 Edge = 80 bitg 2011 Super duty = 80 bit

Markings on the key Markings on the key

How do you indentify 40 vs 80 bit ? “HA” / “SA”

PATS 40 or 80 bit

• PATS power • Ignition controlled = 40 Bit

K t ll d 80 bit• Key sense controlled = 80 bit• Dome light controlled = 80 bit

Transponder system encryption

Different encryption levels 40 vs 80

Simple way to look at it is that 80 should be twice as hard th 40 bit ti RIGHT ?as the 40 bit encryption RIGHT ?

40 bit = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 40 bit 2 1,099,511,627,776 80 bit = 280 = super duper Ginormous number…
