2015 3.5EB XLT SCREW adding remote start and a sub?
Ok boys and girls here's the deal,
I'm getting a SMOKING deal on a 2015 F150 3.5l EB XLT 4x4 that I should have possession of by the end of July. As soon as my brother get's his 2018 I'll be stealing his 2015 for a pinch over $15k from the company he works for.
It's pretty well equipped, however it doesn't have remote start or a subwoofer for the 6 speaker sound system. Two things I'd like to upgrade if I can.
I've done a little searching already and know there are options for both, but I've gleaned so much good info from the forum I thought I'd see what you all have for suggestions.
TIA for your help folks!

To clarify my questions:
A) for the remote start, what brand have you used? was it easy to install and use. Has anyone added the Ford remote start themselves or at a dealership? cost?
2) Adding a sub woofer to the factory system, does ford or another source sell a plug in or adapter to add an amplifier and sub to the factory system?

I bought a new 2017 RCSB XL with everything available on an XL but carpet in November after looking for that exact truck since December of 16. You can not get remote start on an XL but 12 Volt Solutions makes a great kit. If you go factory you either have to have an extra fob to activate the RS or step up and buy a 4 button key for around $100 plus programming. I did not like either of those options. My 12V Solution has been on the truck now 7 months and works great. It bridges in at the OBD2 port, takes 5 minutes to install and maintains most of the factory functions. If you step on the brake it shuts off. This is a security feature in the factory unit. If you dislike the horn honking they offer a kit with horn delete, otherwise it is lock, chirp, chirp, slight delay, start. The subwoofer? You are on your own but it is supposed to be a pretty easy install if you use the correct kit. The only thing I have not determined with my 12V Solutions remote start is if I can in fact add additional cycles like I can with our Flex. I guess I should figure that out since my Lab is with me most of the time and she needs to stay cool.
