- 2017 Explorer
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 installation scheduled at the dealership for Jan4..and I sure would like to save a few hundred dollars and install the system myself...
Here is what i know...
This is a plug-n-play kit
The system will also require a hood switch..which i would just assume bypass..or have bypassed..
Here is what im not so sure about..
Because of the keyless entry/keyless ignition...the computer may have to be reprogrammed to allow the engine to start
without a fob inside of the vehicle..
Soooo....does anyone know if i can install the parts myself and just have the dealership do the programming for me..and could i do the programming?..is it even necessary?..I thank anyone with some knowlageable feedback on this issue..Thanks!
