I have both parts for remote access. I had the dealer pull off my 2014 Lariat. Just bought a 2016 Lariat but I had them pull it off as part of the deal. I never had the shock sensors or light installed so I don't have them but Remote Access worked great for me. If interested I would sell it. It's 13 months old. I'm pretty sure all I have to do is transfer the account to whoever buys it since it's already active, according to the website anyways. -James-

The short version of this thread for your 2014 is as follows:

Yes you will need the following 2 parts
http://www.levittownfordsupercenter....ss-p-2272.html
http://www.levittownfordsupercenter....em-p-1882.html

- These are plug and play and install within minutes under the drivers side dash
- Once installed message me to activate
- The service fee is 50.00 per year

Thats pretty much it but let me know if you have any questions.

-Benny

I am going to try this as well. Mine does not pick up anything...

I swapped my remote access from my f150 to my f350, do I need to get anything adjusted for the module due to the change in engine? I see in the instructions it says to set the truck info on the PTS. I have held out testing it as I'm not sure what will happen.

If your F350 has a factory remote start this is not needed therefore there may not be anything needed to do but in the case you need a re-activation let me know as I will do it granted you purchased from us.

For anyone looking for the complete setup for a 2015-2016 F-150, Fairway Ford in Ohio currently has the best pricing at $399.95 for the complete kit with optional LED light and instructions.
You can contact Kevin in the parts department @ 330-533-3673
After you do the install, he'll get it up and running over the phone.

Here's the current Fairway ebay link for the kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...665&rmvSB=true
This may change in the future, but you can order via email or by calling Kevin directly.
Until the end of this month (Jun 2016) Kevin will send you a form to get an additional $50 visa rebate card from Ford...making it only $349...that's pretty sweet!

Installed mine yesterday and it works great. When you hit the start button on the app it makes a engine sound once the truck receives the command. Plus you also see the 15 min countdown. Very happy with this setup. Btw, you also get a 3 day free trial.
