How can I tell if my explorer has the wiring for remote start.

[barnett468]

I have a 2007 Explorer XLT with the key fob operated door lock feature and wanted to know if there is a way to tell if it also has the wiring and modules etc for remote start.

I also want t know if I need the key fob with 4 buttons to operate remote stat or if I only need the key fob that only has an unlock button, a lock button, and a horn/hood/alarm button (whatever the third one is).

Thanks

I do not think they came with a factory remote starter. I have an aftermarket one and have 2 fobs.

^ Ditto. From the owners manual link in your previous "remote fob module" thread. No mention of remote start.

The remote entry system allows you to lock or unlock all vehicle doors and liftgate, open the liftgate window without a key and activate the panic alarm

Use the 4 button remote fob illustration shown on page 143. Very inexpensive, and less than $5 each.

Thanks for the reply but no I'm confused. If my explorer does not have remote start why do I need a 4 button key fob?

Thanks for the help.

IIRC, Ford offered an add on remote starter and kill kit that is likely discontinued, but might be found on eBay, etc. No telling if the other 3 or 2 button fobs will work, may be a different frequency or code. Contact the seller and check compatibility. GL
