Hey thats ok PCC

You are partially right - Smartlock & Smartshield are very similar devices aimed at imobilizing cars.

The smartshield uses the bem ignition imobilization system (chipped keys) whilst the smartlock uses the ECU to imobilize the engine.

However if Cameron isnt using the original ignition barrel from his engine, then he wont have to worry about the smartshield as the black box from "EMF" will bypass computer errors and allow the engine to start. The box completes the sine wave (that is hard to duplicate, but have heard it can be done) to the computer and loops back onto itself telling the ECU that everything checks out ok and the engine starts presto!

We are using a sigma ignition barrel (unfortunately) and keys to start the car and have the black box wired into the ignition system.

Last time I checked on the Fordmod site there was a guy who has worked out how to duplicate a smartshield sine wave.
