    Default F-150 Remote Start Install

    Has anyone here done it using a Ford OEM kit? If not, know someone/business that is very good?

    Car Toys has done it for two of my wife's vehicles over the years.

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    I would avoid car toys like the plague. Took my wifes 2013 Ecoboost in there. it left out of there not working, took it back two more times and they couldn't figure it out. Worst part was, it was their kit that they supplied. Finally got tired of getting the run around, and took it to a Quality Auto Sound in the Springs. took them about fifteen minutes and a couple of parts and they had it working. I will never give car toys business ever again.

    I have , I work for Ford in in the springs- what year is it? The newer ones 15 and up are pretty easy- plug and play if you will, but you will need the Ford scantool to program it.The older ones are hardwire and are a pita, also need the scantool as well.

    It is a 2014...from what I understand the plug-n-play install takes about ten minutes...then the fun begins with having a dealer cut the new key and program the new remote for the start.

    Do you have a wifi or bluetooth OBD2 reader? With Forscan, you can get past the dealer requirement for the key.

    Something I want real bad for my 2000 Silverado. I work nights and get off @0630, really sucks to come out to a frozen, iced-over truck.....

    I know someone who can do the programming and cut the key, that is if you can make it to the Springs
    Be careful what you get off ebay- I had a lot of customers come in with those with dead keys that wouldn't program.
