Remote start module, Drone Module, and Install. Didn't need any Fobs because they used my Ford Keyless (push to start)

clobna is correct but keep in mind the vehicle has to have factory remote start already equipped.

That's correct must have factory remote start for that setup to work. The guys getting drone mobile or an equivalent system installed for the $350ish range, is that setup coming with a built in alarm? That's what drew me to the ford setup was for $350 it came with a user adjustable alarm and cell signal access to the truck.

The OEM alarm still works, again I wanted longer run time on the remote start. The others might have to get sensors (glass/shock) and horn, etc. I didn't need them so maybe this is the difference.

And the Drone unit is the Cell access module

Where did you get your RMU from for $200? Everywhere I've looked is $300. I would like to save a cool $100.

I had Viper Smart Start in my last car... The Ford thing isn't available in Canada.

I won't get the Viper service again only because I had it because I liked it, and had a VERY high theft rate car. If the F-150 didn't have a starter from the factory, I would do it again in a second.

I have called a few local shops that install alarms and remote starts I have found they can install a express kit remote start that uses the factory key fob for around 150$. Seems pretty reasonable to me
