Does anyone know if Ford offers a remote starter for our trucks thanks Harry

 

i believe they do as an upgrade to the factory alarm. dont quote me on this though. my gf called the dealership and they told her they could do it. she was going to do it as a present to me

 

Every single Vehicle I ever had had a remote starter that the Dealers put on. Heck, in Canada it is almost mandatory.

There are option buttons on the factory remote that must be programmed. The problem is that most of the time you will lose some of the range on the remote, but it is still better than having two remotes. Remote starters whale.

 

how much does that cost if done threw the dealer? I also want to have one remote. thanks, Shane

 

my gf said it was about 350 if she remembers right. man what an expensive way to start your car....

could you explain how to do this.

 

I have the factory autostart and I love it. I use it all the time.

Never had a problem with range. I do change the battery in the controller a lot though.

how are you guys getting factory remote start? I have lots of spare remote laying around that i could put to use.

 

Is this something that i can do in my garage or do i have to take m truck to the dealer.

 

Does anybody have the Ford part number?

 

Vinnie do you happen to know the part # since you have it in your vehicle I don't care if I lose range as long as I can use the factory remote thanks Harry

 

I installed the Ford System 6 "Gold" remote start alarm:

Range is actually significantly better than the stock remotes.

 

HOw exactly do you turn it the truck on witht he remote with this starer system. IS there a sequence that you have to press the buttons for it to happen? I cant imagine it being pressing the unlock button once and the truck coming on all the time??????????????

 

Yipes on that wiring, Tim. I see why its a good investment of the $140.00 you spent at the dealership
