Removal of ignition cut card.....
my 7 came with this little computer chip looking thing. ive seen pictures of it on other peoples 7's as well. I have been having problems with my starting and believe it has something to do with that. I thought it was olny one or 2 wires but when i went to remove it it appears to spider out to about 5-6 wires. anyone know how to remove it and put the ignition wiring back to stock?

Mine came with one of those too. It uses a key thing that's got a circuit board sticking out. I believe what I did was... pull the device out and connected all the wires together. No joke. I'd be amazed if this thing was able to prevent any thefts.

Dude, post some pics up! I've never seen or heard of something like that. Sounds like some sort of aftermarket security system.

Definitely early 90's aftermarket.

There's not even any chips inside lol. I took apart the circuitboard key thing and the contacts merely loop together to complete a circuit when it's plugged into the box underneath the dash.

It isn't a sophisticated device, but apparently just good enough to prevent a casual thief from punching out the lock and driving off the lot....

That should be easy as pie to remove. They most likely just cut factory wires going to the ignition switch and spliced in between them. Remove the wiring, splice wires back together, done.
If you're really not comfortable with wiring, I'd have a car stereo shop do it. That would be SUPER easy for them to do.
