The range for remote start is supposed to be around 100 yards I believe. Not 10 meters.

Well 33 feet didn't sound like much, but I was referencing the 2015 owners manual. The 2012 video you linked to does say 325'.

zotman21 thought 500' wasn't enough & I was simply asking what his expectations were.

Some how by touch a biger mass of your body than you hand it makes the your body into an antenna to extend the signal reach.

Go figure.
Well, I've got the "body mass" thing going on but wondering how "turkey neck" affects the antenna/FOB ?

Thanks BoozeDaily another new trick learned today I have locked my keys in the truck for years using the keypad didn't know it would work same leaving the FOB in the truck with the push start because of the whole proximity thing

I have a new 2015 F150 on order. I have been trying to line up a couple accessories for it. Mud flaps and a hard folding tonneau cover. My concern is that attaching these accessories does not create a situation where steel touches aluminum. I have watched a Consumer Reports YouTube video on Ford aluminum body certification and have read SVC Bulletin Q-222. I found one dealership within 50 miles of me that was aluminum certified - in the body shop. Their service department installs accessories. No other local dealerships had anyone who had even thought about cross contamination of steel and aluminum. I think that this is going to be a growing issue.

There are other thread that go into more detail about all this but my flipbak from 2013 has aluminum hardware and fit the 2015 perfectly, there are plastic/aluminum rivets u can get for mudflaps. More accessories these days are designed as tool-less and what not in other words I wouldn't sweat the accessories too much just be careful not to screw in a metallic screw into your nice new aluminum panels. I wouldn't want to be screwing stuff into my new steel panels anyways if it were a brand new truck.
