Getting used to a new trucks in and outs
First off this is my first post so HELLO to you all. So I just purchased a 2008 F150 supercab 4x4 xlt. So far I am happy with it. got a good deal at 19999 with only 29k miles on it, no dmg, new tires, and what not. So anyways I was paging through the owners manual and I read about OTIS(One Touch Itegrated start)(aka remote start?). So in the owners manual pg 306 it talkes about the fuses for it. D02 Diode specifically in the Auxillary fuse box located drivers side under the hood toward the front of vehicle. Well I do have the diode installed. BUt unknown to me or the dealer if i have remote start... Well Origianlly the car didnt even come with a entry key fob. i asked about it and got one. so mabye this had remote start... what can i do to prove if i do or dont have it. Cause if it is as simple as a new key fob count me in.
Thanks
Steve

Take a read in your owners manual on page 261.
The service manual version of One Touch Integrated Start (OTIS)
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, it will have a computer assisted cranking system. This feature assists in starting the engine. If the ignition key is turned to 4 (START) and then released when the engine begins cranking, the engine may continue cranking for up to 10 seconds or until the vehicle starts.
One-Touch Integrated Start (OTIS)
The vehicle is equipped with OTIS, a computer-assisted cranking system. This feature assists in starting the engine. If the ignition key is turned to the START position and released when the engine begins cranking, the engine may continue cranking for up to 10 seconds or until the vehicle starts.
Once the ignition is turned to the START position, the PCM reads starter motor request (SMR) from the ignition switch and gains control of the starter engagement. The customer is no longer in the loop after the initial crank request, the customer may release the key to the RUN/START position. The PCM will disengage the starter motor based on the following events:
The engine is started (rpm threshold)
A set time has been exceeded
The ignition key has been turned to the OFF position
