How do you deactivate the anti-theft system in a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS?

Answer 1

The only Anti Theft System on a 2002 Eclipse RS is for the RADIO/CD player. If the sound system is stolen, it has to be reactivated by a dealer (actually, you can do it yourself by reading the owner's manual).

As far as I know, there is NO Anti Theft System for the car itself.

From Curtiecia

Yes the Code is for the Radio/CD player to work - this happens when the battery is very low on charge or if the battery has been disconnected

First get the Serial Number (found on the actual radio), you'll need to remove the radio in order to find this out.

After getting the serial, then you can get a code to enter (from a dealership, owners manual, or even somewhere on the internet-I went to the dealership, let them remove it if you go there-although its just 2 screws to remove)

When you do get this code HOLD ON TO IT, should this problem ever occur again, it makes no sense to go thru all this again (especially if you pay someone to do it). The Dealerships' charge is less than $50.00 to do everything, where i am.
