Good to know that, I will find out when I finish phase 3 on the audio system!

 

Just to update the thead in case other 2020 owners are doing research.

My truck is a 2020 XLT with the 302A package. Since it has different content than my friends 2018 XLT with 302A (e.g. my friend's 302A included remote start key fobs), I'll describe the features. Under the Advanced Settings menu, the truck has the remote start menu enabled from the factory with options for climate control (auto, last setting), seats (heat), duration (5, 10, 15) & a check box for system. The 2020 has the remote start system enabled through the Ford Pass app - use the iPhone to unlock, start/stop, lock. I wanted the Perimeter Plus because I wanted the ability to use the key fob for remote start like I did with my old SuperDuty. The shock sensor function was a added bonus for me.

I bought the 'Ford Perimeter Plus Vehicle Security and Remote Start System' (KN1Z-19A361-A). I didn't want to spend $60 on a piece of aluminum (bajamod - bracket & shipping) but wanted to utilize the shock sensor. I used the supplied zip ties to attach to the electronics block (metal bracket side) just to left of brake pedal. The bracket that the oem electronics block uses has a couple of ribs sticking out. I used some foam tape between the ribs to hold the Perimeter Plus in place while contorting myself into a pretzel. Once zip tied tightly, the ribs are in contact with the back of the Perimeter Plus. Wired everything up, including the jumper, and everything works without additional programming.

Hope this helps others with 2020's.

 

I’ve read most of this thread. People saying you do need forscan to install properly and some saying you don’t.

I have a 2019 STX, will I need forscan?

 

does this little plug go in until after you plug it in or before?

 

yes

 

That's true at the mall and in office building garages, but it's not true in residential areas or motels/hotels where a thief knows he can expect an audience when someone's horn starts honking.

 

Only install that jumper if you want to DISABLE the security features.
Leave the jumper wire out if you want your security features to work.

 

Will JJ5Z-19A361-A work for a 2016 ?

Looks like I need dl3z-19a361-a for 2016

 

I have a 2019 stx, tried changing the BdyCm value as it says on forscan write up.. however, it still won’t activate the remote to start the truck. Besides the BdyCm, which other values did you change?

 

the IPC on the spread sheet.. doesn't look like its apart of the highlighted but its there
