- 2013 Ford Explorer XLT
Hi all, a few questions -
My Vehicle Info: 2013 Ford Explorer XLT with the 200 Series Plug-N-Play Remote Start system that I had installed at the dealership in January 2013. I have two keys plus the remote start FOB.
My Remote Start Key FOB has stopped working and the button is worn out (yes I've replaced the batteries several times). The button no longer works and is worn out. Unless I take the actual cover off the FOB, then I can get the button to work but of course, this is not an option for me and probably not something I should do.
I want to purchase a new FOB but I'm unsure of which one to buy. The dealership told me it would cost $95 plus programming charges to order it from them. So I'd like to find out about the following:
1. Can I purchase a new FOB that I don't have to have the extra FOB in addition to my keys? Like an all in one FOB with the remote start button on my actual key?
2. Am I able to purchase something that would allow me to remote start from a mobile app?
3. Is this something that I would be able to program myself?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
