It may be VIN locked to the Mustang or it could just be that it has a different ECU..

Its won't match your ECU/PCM. Ford made 100s of IDs for all there vehicles.

Which one of these is dumb?

1. Ford made 100s of IDs for all their vehicles.
2. It may be VIN locked to the Mustang.
3. Or it could just be that it has a different ECU.

different ecu/pcm..... its not really dumb if you think about it. differances in vehicles means more parts sales, more parts sales means more money. think about it from a business stand point, you would do the same thing!!!
