Just in case you are unsure where the hood switch is and what it looks like, it on the right side. Mid fenderby the coolanr reservoir.

Hey can anyone give me the instructions for the dealership to activate the remote start. I got the 100 series and did the install. The dealership seems to be lost. The first one said programming the keys should get it to work and the other said they didn't know anything about it and would find out and get back in touch. Thanks

I didn't bother reading everyone elses reply, but I bought my truck last weekend and had them put that remote start on it for me. It's installed and working fine for me.

When describing right from left on a vehicle you do so looking out from the driver seat.

The hood switch is on the left fender.

Get the new keys cut by anyone with a key machine, I did my own at work, you can program the keys yourself.

Put one of your original keys in the ignition and turn to run, wait for the gauges to cycle, now take the 2nd programmed key in and do the same thing, now take one of the new keys and repeat and again with the other new key.

Now you have 4 programmed keys. Dealer still has to activate the remote.

So really all the dealer needs to do is activate the PCM, or BCM to recognize the newly installed remote start? shouldn't cost more than 50.00 for labor charges?

Most dealers will charge 1 hour labor to connect the IDS computer, it only takes about 15 mins to do it but it's a standard charge, some dealers have a standard diag fee that will apply, The dealer I bought my truck from charged me full price, $97.00, just to click (enable)

Your not paying for what the tech does, your paying for what he knows. Costs a lot of money and years of training to know how to do what they do.

I was a Ford tech for 11 years.
