So I just purchased an 89 Cadillac... This is the type of car you'd see your grandma riding around in, all hyped about the motorized seats... While none of this is specially interesting, it's a fairly fun project idea, but just for the record... I've not actually started on it yet, but I'll post pics when I start... :)
Before I purchased the car I was notified that it was missing the key... Now as you can probably guess this presented quite the problem, so I got my handy screwdriver and went to tearing out the column and finally got the key position over to "ON"... At which point the car politely notified me that it was potentially being stolen and that it would kindly refuse to start. This particular model featured an anti-theft chip in the key, which obviously wasn't present... So after calling in a quick favor from some other tech friends and a box full of resisters and the sort, that issue was fixed. Unfortunately, the car will always think it's on and drain my battery unless I install some custom switches for the Accessory, Ignition as well as some-sort of a manual push button starter. Now comes the fun part.
