A vehicle anti-theft entry system includes a keypad, a first and second indicator lights, and a theft deterrent module disposed in the vehicle. The theft deterrent module asserts the first indicator light and receives a PIN from the keypad. An access control module comparing the PIN to a list of codes. If the PIN matches a restricted code the access control module sends a restricted access code to the theft deterrent module, if the PIN matches an unrestricted code of the list of codes the access control module sends an unrestricted access code to the theft deterrent module, and if the PIN matches none of the list of codes the access control module sends a deny access code to the theft deterrent module. The theft deterrent module receives the access code and asserts the first indicator light and outputs deny data to control substantially a function of the vehicle if the access code is the deny access code. Otherwise the theft deterrent module asserts the second indicator light and outputs either restricted data to control substantially the function of the vehicle if the access code is the restricted access code, or unrestricted data to allow substantially the function of the vehicle if the access code is the unrestricted access code.
