- 2020 Explorer XLT
We purchased a 2017 Explorer base model that doesn’t have remote start. I want to install a remote starter from “12 volt solutions”.
12Volt.Solutions - Home
It’s a plug and play set up (Works great on my F-150). It requires a hood switch. Only issue is the explorer doesn’t have a hood switch or harness. I know the parts I need and I can install them. Am I right to believe the Explorer needs programmed to recognize that there is a hood switch? If so, then I assume it must be done by a Ford dealership? Then the remote starter can be installed (I hope), or is there more to do?
Has anyone done anything like this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I’m trying to get this finished in under two weeks.
Thank you,
