“For some reason, the factory anti-theft device has cut off the starter and it would not let me start the car. When I turn the key to start , the engine does not try to turn over at all. When I open the hood, I can hear a quiet high-pitch noise when key is turned to start , and that's all. All the accessories, such as stereo, radar detector, work fine when key is in on position. I have to hold down the override switch to start my car. Furthermore, the remote entry/anti-theft device has been completely disabled. …”
