By chance, does anyone know if Ford makes a burglar alarm for 2010 F-150s? I'd like to use the same remotes (as well as the number pad) if possible. I know Ford sells remote start systems, but those require another remote, and all I'm looking for is an alarm, no need for remote start.

Edit: N/M the title, meant to state "Ford aftermarket alarm." Not enough coffee yet for me.

I'm pretty sure that all the models that have power locks with the key fobs have factory installed passive alarms. Meaning once you hit the lock button on the key fob, if someone busts a window and reaches in and unlocks the door from the inside and then opens it, the alarm will go off (lights flashing and the horn honking)

but if you're looking to install an alarm with like a vibration trigger, and making it trigger with the factory key fob, I'm not sure that would be possible to do with it

Our trucks don't have factory alarms. But I think they did add it for 2011 according to the new order guide details.

you can add a basic factory alarm system that works with your factory keyless remotes, here's the details and part number:

It appears there's 9 or 10 wires to splice in for the system. You can find the factory install instructions here: http://www.fordaccessoriesstore.com/GfaWeb/techSpecs.do then goto the installation instructions for electronics - "vehicle security systems" Then find the 2010 truck file and you'll see the F150 wiring diagram

or they do have a remote start, alarm, and keyless entry all-in-one 6-button fob, that's what I have on my truck. About 16 or so wires to splice-in for this system. here's the 2010 model part number in this link:

The 2010s have a passive alarm system that arms when you hit the remote lock button TWICE... you hear the horn beep, signalling it is armed... hitting the remote lock only once does NOT arm the system..

you can prove it by leaving a window rolled down when you lock/arm it, then reach inside to unlock the door.. All hell then breaks loose...

oh well that's good; I double-tap the lock button on my 2010 every time I get out anyway

I didn't know about the double-tap arming either. I think I'll check that out after work. Mainly its just some basic alarm so if a crackhead smashes a window and opens a door, it makes noise. Likely won't get people around to raise an eyebrow, but at least will get them to look that direction.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't there an ignition or fuel pump kill, too? I have a 2010 and I'm pretty sure the manual says so.

I own a 2010 4x2 STX. I have all the add on's for the STX and it does not have passive arming. After reading the post, I went out and tried the doulble tap and waited a minute and opened the door from the inside. Nothing happened!

I wouldnt think it would be too hard, I have an aftermarket auto start that opens and locks my doors, dont see why an aftermarket alarm system would be any different. then you just use the aftermarket fob and not the stock one, stock one sucks ***** and has to short of range anways!

mine does not have alarm. what most of us have is keyless entry, not an alarm. i sat inside and hit the remote 2 times, 3 times, etc. i could open the door, start the truck, whatever i wanted with the doors locked. there is no such alarm. there is a ford oem alarm, but not too sure how good it is.
