PM me if you’re still having problems. Just went through this on a 2011, and also wrote a post on it here, but happy to help you!

Ive gotten that also once or twice, but works almost all the time. Also noticed there’s a limit to the number of times you can start/stop in a row before having to use the key. Perhaps to validate?

$210 Canadian is $164 US, which is high, but not ridiculous, to install both modules, activate Remote Start on the truck, and turn on the cellular service. An experienced installer could do it all in less than 1/2 hour, most dealers charge an hour.

Do all OEM starters have Remote Access?
I’m buying a 2015 (Explorer, sorry to crash the party but figure it prolly uses the same Ford starter maybe?) that has a dealer installed Ford remote starter. I’ve always just done aftermarket DEI/Viper systems and LOVE the SmartStart I have on my current vehicle. From what I’ve seen, Ford’s Remote Access looks similar. If there is already a Ford starter in there, what if anything needs to be done to use Remote Access? The dealer site lists the item listed below for $350, is this a whole remote starter or is this just what is needed to activate Remote Access? If I can drive off with this working I’d be ecstatic, I just want to know what I need to ask the service dept to do to get this going, TIA!!
