remote start

Why would I start in getting a remote start for my mountie? Is there any of these models in this generation that came with remote start or how did that's an option? Is it something that I would just go to a shop for or something that's pretty easily installed? It's going to get colder and colder...

Hello! I have a FPIU and have been reading through multiple posts made on this website regarding this issue but i can’t seem to find one that’s helping me out. I have a 2013 FPIU and i am trying to program a key fob. Now my vehicle enters programming mode but i can’t see to get the car to accept...

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...

Hello all...So my wife and I just bought a new 2017 Ford Explorer XLT..with I believe the 200A equipment package,so a remote start was not included.. I ordered 2 parts from the Ford dealership; Part no.FT4Z-19A361-A (Electronic Module) Part no.EL3Z-19G364-B (Kit-Remote) Well now I have an...

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...

Have an 02 XLT Explorer...need to get a remote start...any suggestions which ones to look at?

Check this out I installed this alarm and made a pictorial it is in a 2004 which should be common in the 02-05 explorers.http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?TID=132461&KW=vinchinzo :D

I have a 1999 XLT with factory alarm, I can set the alarm and set off the alarm from the key fob, but the alarm will not go off when it should (i.e when the alarm is set and a door is opened from the inside). Is anyone familiar with this problem? And know how to fix it without getting raped by...

I got an explorer about 2 months ago, the basic model.. and theres no remote start. It's cold in Jersey, and I was wondering if I can get a remote start put in? Can I bring it to the dealer and pay for the remote start/installation? For those who have remote start; Does anyone have any...

Is there a way to have the heated seats turn on automagically when using remote start? Thanks!

Gents- I am looking to put a remote start in my 04 XLT. I've read a couple of the older threads here and CodeAlarm (by Audiovox??) seems to come up a lot. I'm not looking for fancy alarms and the ability to start my truck from 2 states over. I also would prefer to not chop up all the wires...

I had a viper 5701 installed, professionally, into my 97 Explorer, and they screwed it up and won't fix it. I'm dealing with that, but meantime, I want to fix it so i can use my vehicle. Also, I upgraded to a 5901 and rewired the system, so i believe its a misconnected wire, not just a loose...

I know there are some good threads on remote starts, however, nothing is 100% clear about adding the remote start if you already have the power lift gate option. Has anyone added the remote start to a 2011 that had the power lift gate option already in it? Did you have to rely on the dealer...

Has anyone else noticed or have the problem that the keyfob range is really poor or does not work? When returning to my vehicle after going into a store, it does not seem like it works at all to unlock the doors until I'm right next to the door. I noticed today that when leaving the car, it...

Hello All, I have a 2006 Explorer XLT which has a dealer installed remote starter which does not start the engine. When I push the button, the horn beeps once, there is a short pause and then the horn beeps twice and then nothing. Normally after the second set of beeps, the engine would...

This might be a very confusing question which would require a very confusing solution (atleast to me). I have an 01 expy Sprt with the door handles shaved off with an autoloc door pop kit but I still have the keypad ( I also know the code). I want to install a Scytec Visionguard8000 (camera...
