I had some questions about a remote start. Is one brand better than another? Can I use the same feyfob that came with the truck to operate the remote start. Any imput would be appreciated. Thanks. Bob.

Hey Bob,

While I don't currently have remote start, it is on my to do list. I used a DEI add-on alarm that used my factory key fobs. This unit also has an auxilary output that can be used to activate a remote start unit.

HTH,

I have a Python alarm system and I had the remote start installed as well. The alarm system I have is made by DEI for Python. You buy an alarm and can configure it with "options". The remote start feature was an addition $150 and about another $60 in labor. Well worth the money. Your current Ford keyfob cannot accomodate remote start.

I would not use the factory key fods, I have one in my 96 Exlorer, when we first got it in the factory key fobs the code buttons on the door did not work, and when we remote started the car and it was running I could not unlock the doors with the key fob, and then we went back to have them use there key fob and know it works just right, and ours is a DEI system.

I have my remote on my(factory) key fob and I have no problem at all. In fact I can even do settings with the key fob. Example: When it gets real cold I can set the truck to start every 4 hoursfor 4 minutes automatically all through my key fob(obviously outside). Installed by dealer.

I would think they would have to defeat the Securilock system to make it work.

From what I have heard to use a remote starter you have to bypass the PATS system, while no big deal it is sure a nice feature to keep the L where it was parked.
