So can I ask, what happened to your key? Why did it lose programming? Again, I haven't read all 19 pages. The last time I was in this thread reading was a few years ago when I leased my 15 Explorer and got it's remote start system working.
Did you try putting in the 'emergency' slot and then attempt to start the vehicle? Perhaps it was a bad battery in the fob.

Really quick question. If I wanted to increase the range of my remote start and I buy the antenna for it and plug it into the tpms in the center consol?
Thank you for your awesome work on this thread! I bought my 2014 Explorer Sport wrecked and repaired. I'm guessing it came equipped with Remote Start activated as you suggest. I have two "arrow" fobs. It is "Push-to-Start" The RS items are currently included on the dash "Settings" menu. There is no hood switch or hood switch wiring present -- just the hole where the hood switch would be. When I try to activate the RS, the lights flash and the horn beeps. Could this be as "simple" as installing the hood switch and wiring? (I gather the wire routing is not all that simple.) I'm fairly "handy" but I don't relish the thought of "frying" myself or some innocent bystander component(s).[The] Intelligent Access (IA) system. This has a hidden keyblade for unlocking the door in a "emergency" situation such as a dead battery. This system is used for push button start vehicles. The remote start FOB for IA also has a button with the arrow tipped circle with the number "2" in the middle of it. To my knowledge all IA Explorers have remote start enabled from the factory. If this is no[t] true please correct me.
Hi Jerry. Yes Jason, jmr061, is still around. Have you PM'd him?Hello. Does anyone know if Jason with pi mods is still on here? I have called and emailed him with no response.
Is this something one could do with any 2011-2015 Ford? For example, will the same procedure and same forscan details work with for example - a 2015 Fusion?
Ok, just to clarify. I just bought a used 2013 Explorer XLT. I do have the hoot pin so I am assuming I have the remote start hardware already installed as reading through these 20 pages of this thread, I believe I read that all 2011-2015 xlt explorers have this already installed. Just want to confirm that if not enabled already I can use Forscan to enable it or find a dealer that will do this via their IDS software. I do have two factory OEM 4 button keys that came with the truck and it does have a power Lifegate. Is the only thing I need to do other than have remote start enabled, is to purchase two new OEM keys, have them cut and program them myself as per the manual? Also, if in my left set of menu's I see an option for remote start, does that mean it's already enabled?
