Hot Wiring Issues

Hey guys,

I have a friend with a 2001 Acura MDX, and he wanted to try and hot wire it. Its pretty worthless at this point, so we thought it would be fun to try.

So basically what I want to know is:

How complicated it is (We are both smart kids despite what you might think)

What can we screw up on the car/ How much it would cost to fix what we mess up.


THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Not going to happen. The vehicle has an immobilizer. So unless you know what you're doing, in regards to that, you're out of luck. The days of "hot wiring" a car by simply sparking 2 wires under the dash together, is over. Only in the movie.
