Aftermarket Remote Start

My dad just bought a 2017 STX off the lot. It's beautiful, but he wanted remote start and this didn't have it. anybody add an aftermarket remote start like the one below?!

I just recently purchased a 2015 F-150 XLT and would love to hear any reviews on this product. I've been very wary of aftermarket remote starters in the past and have had some unpleasant experiences with them, however those were back in the day before plug-n-play units.

This one got high reviews on another forum and it's a little cheaper:

Is there a thread on our specific kit? I'd like to offer a group buy or discount code for the f150 community like we do for the Tacoma Community.

I'm not sure of the Group Buy rules on this site. Interested in this kit, though!

I don't believe there's a thread on here for your particular kit, just a reference to it when someone mentions wanting to add remote start.

EDIT: No discounts now..I already have mine. :-)

Why not buy one from your Ford dealer? They probably have a couple different models. I had them install remote-start for me and it works perfectly. And, as I recently found out, I can start my truck from my factory keyfobs - sweet!

You're not going to get one for around $100 bucks from a Ford dealer and you can also use the factory key fob with the 12volt Solutions unit.

Okay, so I just ordered the starter from 12Volt Solutions. You can get a $15 discount if you use the code SocialStalker at checkout.
I'll post a follow up review in a few days after I get it. Free shipping too.

Ordered the starter on Sunday and received it Wednesday (Oklahoma to NY). Had no issues installing it in about 5 minutes and works as advertised. Pretty impressed so far.

I just installed this in my 2015 F-150. Easiest plug and play install ever and you still use factory key fob to start the truck! This one uses the lock,unlock,lock sequence on factory remote so your horn doesn't beep when starting AND it's a Ford part!! I then used Forscan to enable the menu in the instrument cluster.

Question about the Forscan Enable steps?

What were the steps or which modules and code numbers did you have to change?

Thanks!

This works great

Start-X Ford F-150 2015-2019, Ranger 2019 Remote Start Starter (NO HONK-Lock-Unlock-Lock) Also Works with Fusion 14-18
Amazon Amazon

I have a 2018 150 STX and this one has worked flawlessly for about 3 months now. The video on the pics of the item is what I went by for installation and it literally is that easy. High recommend. I bought a unit to plug into the ODMII port and used FORScan to unlock the remote starting option in the truck display screen options. Such as last setting used vs auto temp to 72. And timed cut off.
