I did pull some VINs off of ebay for some FX4 trucks with remote start and checked their as builts as I couldn't find any XLT trucks with remote start. 6FEA was pretty consistent.

Is the entry in the 3rd position on that line a checksum or something?
My 13 XLT is 5529 ECOA 24C2
The 13 Lariat w/factory RS is 5529 6FEA 2829

I don't understand the hex values and what they mean. I just go with what the smart people say. I went with the FX4 since they seem to match the options close to an XLT. With Lariats and the auto 4wd and other options I shied away from them on comparing their VINs. We better get out of here before we anger '15+ guys with out 12th gen problems.

Is it possible to enable remote start in my 2015 Lariat if it didn't come as an option? I found it the Google Docs spreadsheet. Wasn't sure if remote start was "hidden" inside my truck and just needed to be enabled.

You'll need some hardware is my guess

Questions
Hey guys, the "double honk" has just about driven me crazy so I have ordered the ODBLink MX and the extended license. The MX should be here today, but I have a few basic questions.
1. Where do I plug the mx into the truck?
2. I have the account with FORScan. What do I do with it?
3. Will it automatically link up with my laptop (it does have bluetooth)
4. Do I need to be online while running the program?
5. Is it pretty easy to find the double honk to change it and increase the heat on the steering wheel?
Thanks for your help....and sorry for not being overly computer savy. I did disable the enhanced engine noise, but that was an old thread that required us to remove wires in a harness behind the seats.
