Default 2015 remote start addition

Hey guys new to the site and I had a question about 2015 F150 remote start. My truck did not come with remote start but I've read that I can buy the key fob that has remote start option and the flip out key and I have my truck programmed to remote start. Is there any truth to this? Thanks in advance.

Might want to look into this. I put this in my 2013 and it's awesome.

No, there is not. You need to add modules, not just buy a fob and program the truck.

I would buy aftermarket. I've had my Clifford set up for about 7 years now and the range on it is MUCH longer than any factory setup. One mile unobstructed range to be exact, and I have tested it. I work in a factory and can start my truck from inside the building if I stand in the right spot (it is sporatic). Many others at work were impressed and went out and bought one as well. It's more expensive, but worth it to me.
