Remote start?
I went with the ford remote access unit setup. Needs perimeter alarm ($150) and RMU unit ($200) and annual subscription is $50. Install was easy, took about 25 min DIY. All controlled by ford app which is so far so good. Response averages a few seconds for each function, lock/unlock, start, find vehicle.
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.

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
