Start-X Remote Starter Kit for Ford F-150 (2011-14), F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 (2011-16), Edge (2011-14), Expedition (2015-17), Explorer (2011-14) | Key Ignition Vehicles | Plug N Play Install

Ok so I purchased this for my Wife and her F150 2013 ECO BOOST. Now I purchased a different remote control starter kit that claimed to be plug and play before however it was not.. and would not work even 10% of the time, so I was sceptical about this easy start remote starter kit. Suprisingly it installed very quickly and worked the very first time I attempted to start the truck. Three presses of the lock button and the truck starts right up. To turn the truck off without getting in you have to press the lock button again three times and it will shut down. Be carefull when exiting the car and going into a store or work as Ive had the turck start up and it will run for about 10 Minutes before the computer will shut it down unless you notice and turn it off yourself. Another thing I have noticed is if you remote start the truck and get in, decide you arent going anywhere and havent moved the vehicle you will not be able to turn it off with the key... you have to press the lock button three times or just move the car forward or backward then put it back in park and it will turn off with the key. Strange but whatever I suppose, all in all its been a god send for my wife in the mornings with a frozen truck window that will defrost from the comfort of the kitchen lol. It does have limited range, of whatever you can get your keyfob to lock the doors at lol, mine is about 40 feet or so. We park right infront of the house so it works great. Very happy with the overall application of the remote starter.

I installed this on my wife's 2014 Ford Edge, and it works great. This should keep me out of the dog house until this spring. :-)Installation was a very doable and fun DIY project that took about 1.5 hours. Programing took a few tries to get right, but wasn't difficult. Just follow the instructions to the letter.The only negative is that the instructions must be accessed on dropbox and are restricted to viewing only. No download or print available. Have your smartphone handy.

Worked great on my 2012 F350. Very simple to install. Instructions were easy to understand. Everything is plug and play, no wire splicing involved. Comes with zip ties so you can tuck the wires inside the dash and secure them so they don't rattle around. Distance on the transponder and receiver are great. From inside my house to my truck is about 50ft and it has no problem with the signal. Great value for the money.

Works great once you get the programming figured out. Don't let that discourage you from buying, it's not hard if you have the right instructions. I had to find a 3rd party video on YouTube to get it to work. They leave out key info for programming. When you get to the part about the lights flashing in sequence, you have to let go on the blue and red lights lit. If you don't, it won't program. Took me 3 tries, 3rd try I used the video instead of the instructions. I'd also much rather have a paper instruction booklet like they used to, not a PDF that you can only view on your phone...won't let you print it either. If it had better printed instructions, It'd be a 5 star review.

Installed on a 2011 Ford Edge, took about 2 hrs. Very easy overall especially if you've had some experience removing panels and doing any radio wiring, CarPlay or backup camera installs etc. The kit comes with the plastic pry tool which was nice. Tip: The wiring harness has a 4-pin and 7-pin connector that both attach to the back of the ignition cylinder. In videos people reach up from under the dash to pull the clips out from the back of the cylinder which I found nearly impossible as I couldn't see and couldn't get my fingers in the right spot with enough leverage to pull... instead, take the ignition cylinder out. Remove the strip of paneling along the right leg of the driver and around the ignition and you'll see screws to remove, the cylinder will come right out and you'll have easy access to the rear to unplug the 4-pin and 7-pin connectors and then reconnect per the rest of the instructions. The programming was easy but took me two attempts (the first attempt ended with the car running and unable to shut off until I just removed the wires from the module and started over). Make sure you have both original keys. Very happy that this allows use of the existing keys, the car is started by pressing lock 3 times.

This was in fact a plug and play remote car starter which was easy to setup and works well. The difficult part on a 2016 Ford Taurus is that the ignition connector you need to replace with a t-harness from this kit is located on the back of the ignition switch assembly. The only way to access the connector is by removing additional panels so you can unbolt and remove the ignition switch assembly shown in the pictures. Other than the headache of removing quite a few panels to gain access to the ignition connector, the install was pretty straightforward and I’m happy with it so far.

This was easy to install on my F150 and works great. Make sure you watch the install video on YouTube. I installed it in about 30 mins. Programming took me a few tries. I found that it wouldn’t program because my battery voltage was a hair low. Hooked it to a charger and it programmed as it was supposed to. I highly recommend this auto starter.

installed on 2011 f-150, works great, lots of videos on youtube to help installation. newer f-150's are much much easier of an install than on my 2011. it was more work taking part the steering wheel cover and under dash than i was expecting but following youtube videos made it manageable. worth it.
