Being an AUI it will have Smartlock, Basically an immobiliser, with no dash light for it. It may have also been optioned with a Ford alarm.

It also should have locks.

Depending on what month it was built, it may have Smartshield instead of Smartlock.

Neither are that smart though.

Yes Smartlock you have, Smartshield came in in late AUI and is slightly better apparently. Don't know how, but it just is.

That LED sounds aftermarket to me.

Smartshield used a rolling code in the key, so you need the key with the correct chip inside to start the car.
