Hey all. I want to order the 12 Volt Solutions Remote Start Kit for my 2013 FPIU but they don't appear to list a police model for anything other than 2016+. Would the standard explorer 2011-2015 kit work for my 2013 FPIU? I couldn't see why not since there isn't any difference in the ignition system other than the lack of an immobilizer chip in the key.
Mainly want to add this kit because the standard remote won't reach more than 5-10 feet to the vehicle, if it reaches at all. If it reaches then I can remote start it but I'm sick of needing to stand next to my car to remote start it. Not very "remote" at that point! I already installed the hood switch and remote start is enabled in FORscan btw, and I have tried numerous antennas to hook up to the RKE/TPMS module with no luck, so I'm splurging with the 12V solutions kit.
Also, their support isn't picking up the phone or getting back to me via email, so figured I'd scour the forums for advice haha.
Thanks in advance!
