the stealer says that since I already bought the truck that it would cost a lot for them to put one on for me. i figured it would be a cheap mod for a stealership to do on a new truck. i guess it shouldn't be too surprised. thoughts?
View 14 RepliesLooks like a great option the Job 1 trucks missed out on. Looking into the feasibility of it. This is my first Ford so I am not really sure how the factory plans these things out.
View 14 RepliesMy 99 super duty crew cab A/C does not cool the inside of the truck very well when sitting in stop and go traffic like I always do, in south Louisiana. I recently rebuilt the whole a/c system and it works great when I start rolling. I think my fan clutch is working correctly. I have been thinking about a way to convert to electric fans and take that huge weight off the water pump snout but I haven't found a way to do it, that I like. I was wondering for info to install a pusher fan in front of their a/c condenser that comes on with the a/c system. I would imagine it causing any problems while driving, seeing as a bunch of cars have pusher fans and I could only think it would support the cooling system.

Whats the correct way to use the remote start?
The lights flash and that's about it.
Where and how can I get the code for the door pad?
I bought a 2016 F-250 Lariat, Crew Cab, Short Bed, 4X4, 6.2 a couple weeks ago. One thing I had to have was remote start. My truck was not manufactured with remote start so the dealer installed the Ford 1 way remote start system. The system works fine however the air conditioning fan runs on the lowest speed when remote starting until I put my key in the ignition at which time it reverts back to wherever it was set when I shut the truck down. The whole point of the remote start for me is to get a head start on the truck cooling off but with the fan on low when remote starting it defeats the purpose. How I can change the setting so that when I remote start the fan runs on high? Dealer is clueless and the settings in the truck only allow to turn the system on and off and run time duration.
View 7 RepliesI just bought me a 2006 Ford F350 Lariat. A sticker in front of the radiator says says that my truck is equipped with remote start. How would I go about using it? I only have one fob. If it is in fact something that I can utilize I have seen guys on youtube program their fob to do it by clicking three times.
View 2 RepliesHave an 08 F350 with V10 automatic. Keyless entry with factory alarm. I want remote start. What is the best route to go? Read somewhere on this forum that the truck has remote start and just needs to be enabled. Is this true? I have installed remote start a couple times on older vehicles and it was a major pain. I can't believe it is already on my truck, what do I need?

From what I see on Ford's site, looks like this should work:

Are there any aftermarket systems I should be considering?
My remote start/entry on my 2013 F250 won't work outside of 25 or 30 ft from the vehicle. On my 2011 it would work close to 100 yds away. My dealer has no idea why. And yes, I changed the batteries
View 12 RepliesIt is starting to get cold where I live in Idaho, 22 this morning, and when I use the factory remote start on my 2011 the heater is not coming on as the owners manual says it should.
View 6 RepliesI can't seem to get my heated seats to come on when I use the remote start. Is this possible? I assume the supplemental heater comes on behind the scenes. Is there a temperature differential between the climate setting and the outside temperature? If so what is the delta? If it's 40 degrees outside and my climate is set at 60 degrees...will the supplemental heater come on? How about the rear window defroster and heated seats, can I make them come on when remote started? Same question for the seat cooling...in a few months.
My truck is a 2012 Ultimate Lariat 6.7L ......
I have a factory remote start. Not sure if I have an issue or not but at what point does the fan come on automatically to clear the windshield? It was -9C this morning and when I went out after about 5 minutes there really wasn't any air coming out of the vents.
Does the truck have to warm up to a certain temperature before it starts to blow air to clear the windshield? Doesn't tell me much in the manual.
2011 SD 6.7 with factory remote start will start normally when the temperatures are above 20F or the vehicle is warmed up. If the temperature is near or below O F and the vehicle is cold soaked for 12 hours the remote start fails to work. Push the lock button and the lights flash, push remote start twice and the lights flash once and nothing happens. Subsequently can manually start vehicle with key without any delay or problems. Once vehicle is warmed up can remote start normally. Only recently have the temps been low enough in the area to experience this problem which has repeated 3 times. Unable to find any troubleshooting in the service manual for this.
View 7 RepliesThe factory remote start is not working on my 2009 F 250. The red light is lit when I push the button, the doors lock and you can hear something engage in the engine but it does not crank it. If I keep holding the button the alarm starts to go off. When I walk up to truck the radio is on and I need to hit the remote start button to shut everything down before manually staring.

View 2 RepliesJust bought the truck and when remote starting it i noticed it is turning on the heat. Having read a bunch of different posts it sounds like the climate control would be set to automatic which i would like to have it just use were i set my controls. Problem is i do not have any options on the instrument cluster for climate control and no auto button the the heater controls themselves. I would think that means i do not have automatic climate control but it is doing it. How to turn it off?
View 6 RepliesJust this morning I tried to remote start my '13 F250 6.7 and all i got was the doors lock and a two honks. The two honks are usually when there is a door left open when you click the lock button two times but all of my doors were locked. After I started the truck with the key and took it out to go run a errand I noticed the check engine light turned on. Could this be connected or just a coincidence?
View 4 RepliesMy remote start just decided to stop working. I did notice 3 days ago the horn beeped a few times when I started it with the key. Since then if I try to start it I get 6 beeps when it should have started. and the red light flashes twice continuously.
