Remote Start 2011-2015 FORSCAN

[MA15XLT]

I was just programming and new key for remote start. I had key cut by dealer and was able to program that part but the remote I programed and now only will unlock, back hatch open, and alarm. It will not lock or be able to use remote start function. Has anyone had this problem?

Yes I bought an aftermarket key from Amazon . Could it be remote is broke and only working on few buttons. I used the method on off 8 times too looks cycle and then hit remote button.

Any luck resolving this issue?
I am having the same problem, but I have yet to have the key cut and programmed.
I did notice that when I open the hood, there is no message saying the hood is ajar. Wonder if there is a problem with the switch?
UPDATE...Key has been cut and programmed. Vehicle starts but the remote does not activate remote start. All other functions work.

Wanted to thank you for posting this. Was really interested in setting up remote start on my 2015 sport and was able to buy keys, program, and cut them for next to nothing, but every local dealership wanted $150+ just to do the programming. Found this thread, picked up a $30 cord from Amazon and Forscan installed on my laptop and had this programmed in working in less than ten minutes. System works flawlessly now.

Thanks again!

Send me a message and I will help you.

Anyone near Hackettstown, NJ that would be able to help me enable remote start in my 2013 XLT?

Nevermind all, got it all working on my own. Works great. Saved hundreds of dollars too.

Gotta Love this forum. I was going to save up and get remote start. After you guys informed us, it just needs enabled and the right fob programmed. I did just that. I enabled remote as per your instructions. Ordered my key 4:00 this morning. Cant wait to program key fob.
I read this forum daily and try to throw in my .02 as much as possible to help others. “Keep on rocking in the free world”

I'm trying to work through this process. I was able to get the fob programmed, remote start and locks function as expected. My concern is that I am not seeing the remote start options in the IPC. Currently the HVAC doesn't do anything when the system starts.

Has anyone seen this on their vehicles?

You have to program that in under the ipc in FORScan. I’ve included all codes based on what options you actually have.

I’m sorry I missed this post. Thanks for the comment. I’m glad I could help.

Thanks for the reply. I set the codes below in the IPC and BCM as stated in your post.

726-19-01 0148 = remote start enabled
720-01-03 C8F3 = without climate seats or wheel(Base model and Interceptor. Possibly some XLT models)

I'll go double check just in case I was seeing what I expected to see.

What year Explorer do you have and I’m assuming you don’t have dual climate control? If not you’ll have to set your temp settings before you leave the vehicle so it’ll work when you remote start.

The HVAC on my vehicle stays off regardless of settings when turned off.

This is interesting. Never knew this was an issue with manual climate controls. Are they knobs? I’m not familiar with what they actually look like.

Here you go. Probably same issue. Sounds like it may need a firmware update.
