remote start

I bought a 2017 Ford Explorer SUV last week. It has push-button start/stop. I also have two FOBs that work great EXCEPT neither will start my engine. I have been scouring the internet and trying all sorts of directions for a week without success. If I cannot fix this on my own I will have to...

Hey everyone. First post here. I'm getting a 2014 Explorer XLT in the next week. I plan on getting one of the nice switchblade keys from amazon. However, I also want to enable the factory remote start using forscan. Has anyone seen any switchblade key fobs that have the remote start button? All...

Hello all! Thanks for the add! Question, I've got a 2011 Ford Explorer. My remote start and keyless entry stopped working altogether. When we first got the car you had to be right up on it for it to start the car or unlock the doors. Over time it gradually got worse and then just stopped all...

Thanks for the add. First, I am interested in adding a remote start, then adding a subwoofer. Then I need info to fix stupid water leak in third row.

Thought i would throw this out there. There is a known issue with the 2016-2019 model year Explorers with integrated heated seats and remote start. I can only speak that it affects the limited trim and up with the heated and ventilated seats. I have my remote start climate settings set to "auto"...

I have a 2013 Explorer XLT and I bought my wife a Fortin RS Remote Start kit. I have removed the bottom panel of the steering column and the kick panel below the steering column as well as the metal panel behind it. I can see the back of the ignition switch but I cannot find the small...

Hi all, I have a 2016 Explorer Sport with factory included remote start. I always leave the climate settings in auto mode for remote start. When I remote start it in the hot summers here (100F+), the climate control on the remote start is useless. It does not cool worth a damn. The front vents...

My battery died so I got a jump And had it tested. The test said that the battery was dead so I replaced it. My car started right up with the new battery but when I tried to start the car with my remote start it would just click and then if I try to start with the push button it won’t start as...

Hi guys. I have a 13 explorer limited. It has a preactivated basic remote start and i was wondering if i can have the bidirectional remotestart's antenna installed to help increase the distance to activate the function. I live in ohio and am a foreigner from a tropical country so i am really...

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...

Has anyone had experience or know of a write up on a particular remote start kit? I just want a basic remote start (one way for all I care) that will work and will not cost a ton. DIY install is a plus but not required. I imagine the cheap ones on ebay are missing things or just flat out...

been researching remote starters for my 13 ex. after playing with the ford access and seeing the cost i decided to talk to my buddies who owns an aftermarket shop near me. ended up walking out with a plug and play idatastart unit with a single button remote plus the drone mobile kit. got home...

My mom's arthritis has gotten so bad that she is unable to turn the key from the "Run" position to start the car. I am thinking of adding a push button momentary switch so all she will have to do is position the key to the "Run" position and then push the button. I searched here on this site...

For anyone looking to installing their own remote on one of these vehicles, letting you know now, it is a major pain in the rear. I currently hate Ford. I am doing the job the correct way. Not butchering everything and quickly hacking it in. Here are a few quick picks I took with my non...

I know the remote start app has not been updated since 2013, but what are the chances Ford could push custom accessories to update the app to include compatibility with the iphone 6/6+ screens and... god forbid... the apple watch. It would be bad ass to start/lock my car from my watch.

I know how to program a new remote for my 2013 Limited, and there is the requirement that you have two of the factory keys. My partner was able to program a second key for a 2011 F-150 he bought used, when he only had one key fob, because the truck also had Remote Start, and the Remote Start...

How do I know if my 2013 explorer base model is remote start ready? I've read that some come with remote start but you have to have the right key fob? I'm considering having an after market "Viper" installed.

I was pulling fuses the other day on my 03 xlt trying to weed out a battery drain. In doing so, I have disabled my remote starter (after market). Any recommendations on how to set this back up to work? I have tried to program it just like a factory fob (on off 8x) to no avail. Any and all help...

How can I tell what model remote starter I have installed ? I have a one button FOB with the Ford logo on the button. It seems to work fine. I also have what looks like a DIY momentary button installed in the dash, near the lower left side if the drivers knee panel. A year or so ago I...

Ok so I have a 2003 ford explorer that when I attempt to use the remote start, all the interior lights come on, including radio, and the engine clicks and something spins, but nothing starts, and I don't know where to go with this. It worked for a while with no problems, then quit when I...

Anyone interested in splitting the DA8Z-19G364-A remote start kit? It comes with 2 keys and I only really need 1...cheapest i have found is about $200 with shipping. Dealer said $105 to "install" aka turn it on in IDS and cut the key. PM if interested. Thanks!

Was goofing around on amazon, stumbled on the Omega Excalibur RS-130-DP remote start with the keyless bypass module for $99. Says it works with the factory key fob. Considering buying it, and trying to self install. Has anyone on here done either?

HAPPY NEW YEARS to the Ex family!!! This thread was created to see if I made the right connections, but also can be as a tutorial of where to make the connections on your Ex when the diagram is corrected. As a Christmas present from my wife, I ordered a AutoPage C3-RS-665 and a iDataLink...
