I had it for about 4 months now, easy install it took me only 5 minutes, plugs right into OBD, unlocks features in the dash. Press lock key 3 times on the fob and it will start the truck. Distance is limited by the factory key fob range. No issues so far, works great.
Get it on ebay its cheaper : https://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-2018-F...hX6B0s&vxp=mtr

VSS
Has anyone tried just adding Ford's VSS module? I hear it's plug and play and also adds remote start. Not sure if any programming needs to be done in forscan though. Getting conflicting info. JS7Z-19A361-A is the part number.

The best thing about this unit is that you press lock-unlock-lock on your factory key fob to start the truck. This button sequence means it WON'T beep and no extra key fobs to carry plus it's a Ford part!
I did use forscan to enable the remote start menu in both vehicles. On the F-150 you have to change
BCM 726-22-02 to xxx1 xxxx xxxx
IPC 720-02-02 to whichever matches your vehicle options in the forscan spreadsheet on the IPC tab.

I purchased this and installed it 2 weeks ago. It's works without issue and I use it every day. I didn't have to make any programming changes. The unit was plug and play. If I leave the heat or AC on when I shut the truck off, it'll turn on when I start it up with the remote. Hands down the best upgrade I've done. Extremely pleased with the purchase.

I bought this setup for my wifes and my truck, both work great, install was less then 15 minutes for both trucks. You are limited to the range on your existing fob, but my really isnt that bad. Overall I'm very happy with it. Not to mention it is easily reversable if I sell the truck. Not sure how it knows, but I have climate control adjustments in the cluster, and when I get in before turning the key it tells me to insert key before the vehicle will operate. I changed nothing in the bcm, but somehow it knows there is remote start now..

I offered him $130 for it and he countered at $145 a whopping $4 off his list. I asked him a question as to if his unit activated the trucks menu on climate and he never answered me. I skipped him and ordered this one For $150 plus a reasonable shipping fee. Ill update when it comes in.

Go for it. I didn't bicker because I wanted to start using it and I couldn't wait. The operation so far has been flawless and the range is great because I'm using my factory fob. I don't have heated seats or steering wheel so the other unit doesn't seem that big of a draw for me. Hope it works for you, though I wouldn't have bought it based on the Fusion headline. Good luck.
