Remote Start
Hey guys,
I was tinkering around on the motor today cleaning and noticed i have this sticker that says warning equiped with a remote start use caution when changing the battery, or something off those lines i will go back out and take a picture of it in a little. That being said, i have the regular lock/unlock key fob for my 05 fx4. Is there a way I can check to see if there is already a remote start set up on my truck? If there is one on the truck would i be able to get a new fob from ford or different place? or would i have to pull out that one and replace with a new kit?
And with a new kit will it remove the stock key fob function or anything along those lines?
Thanks!

Are there any direct markings or anything saying its a remote start or just a black box so to say. I have seen what the ones in the kits look like. I have also seen that they place them on the passenger side too.

Ya have a look under the dash and look for something that doesnt belong or look factory. You can try and press the lock button 3 times on your factory remote too. If theres one in there, youll have to get a brand name off of the main unit and find a remote for it. Another thing too is look for a hood pin.

I will have to check in the morning. still at work
Im prepared that i might have to take down the info on the unit if there is a non ford one in there and buy a new fob.
What do you mean a hood pin?

if there is a product number on the back of the unit just go to amazon and type the number in, it will bring the unit up, then search for a single key fob. chances are youll have to find the manual to program the key fob.

there is a pin located under the hood that will shut the system off if the hood is opened while it is in start mode. its a safety precaution. the system will work without the pin installed though.
