my bad Brilliant Black, I was referring to the remote start. the trailer brake controller works with my steering also.
to add remotes and adjust how remote start works I hear a button should be under the dash.

No button for remote start either. Dealer has to program and you use steering wheel controls to change settings.

I'm taking a guess, and this is only a shot in the dark.. I think the LED and button are for the stock alarm if you have it?

Does anyone who put the ford system in wish they went with an aftermarket one or are you satisfied with fords?

Brilliant Black R/T

If your talking alarm not sure. If your talking Auto Start, hell yea I would stay with the ford one. I got the one with seperate keyfob, it tells me when truck is started by led and sound. I can start it from my office which is in middle of our building. I also love the way you control the auto start with the steering wheel controls and on screen display... Very nice for stock, you won't be disappointed.

Yes I am wondering about the auto start. I want to get one with the that I can use the in key start I hate carrying around all that stuff on my keychain.

Brilliant Black R/T

I hate all the remotes and fobs too, but from what I read the remote start with the key doesn't have any range, which is what I needed.... Also has no feedback that the truck is started, which I also needed. Can't see my truck from the building very easily..

Mechmatt

Is there a problem where they don't start or is the feedback just for personal reassurance.

Brilliant Black R/T

"Personal reassurance" Yea that's why I talk nice about the auto start..

It took me an hour and a half, start to finish, including putting tools away. I could do the next one so much quicker. It was so easy, I was my own worst enemy. I over thought every move. Thank you for the pictures posted, far better than the paper instructions that I got from the dealer. I've got an appointment Monday, Oct. 29th to activate it. My small town Ford dealer is quoting a maximum of 2 hours time. He told me that some trucks accept the download quicker and easier than others. We'll see how it goes. I bought both the truck and now the starter there. I've got to drive miles and make a real issue about trying a different one. I'll let you know how it works out for me. I really appreciate the coaching you guys gave on this forum.

Do you guys think the 100$ more for the 100 to the 200series is worth it?
