For a 2011 F150 that has a Dl3z-19a361-a black box alarm and add on door key pad ....... Am I correct to only need a DL3Z 15603 C Antenna and a DS7Z-15K601 F one way remote?
I really don't need another alarm .... should I use a different antenna number? And I only want a one button transmitter.
I think the BC3Z-19G364-A and CL3Z-19G364-B are alarm/starter/antenna/ 3 button transmitter packages. I know that anything I do needs to be programed.
Thanks

I wonder if I posted this in the wrong place ?????

I dont have an alarm box, or know what it is, but I ordered the kit ford (164-R8067-DA8Z-15603-A), Got the key cut from bud at depot then programed the key myself, installed antenna and turned feature on with forscan. Works great and use it every day.

I just bought the key with button. Had it cut and programed then turned on RS with forscan. Works fine without the antenna.

I tried to respond yesterday but was getting an error. Anyway, not much detail on the Ford Accessory site, but it looks like the DL3Z 15603 C antenna is for the bi directional (2 button) remote and DA8Z-15603-A is the antenna for the 1 way remote.

BC3Z-19G364-A doesn't include an alarm. It's just the antenna and 2 new remote start keys (4 button keys). With this system, there's no need to carry a separate fob for the remote start, as it is built into the key. The downside is the range isn't as long as the 1 button fob. At one time, Fairway Ford on ebay was carrying a 1 key version of this system for around $130. Really just depends on what you are looking for.

Ditto. This was the least expensive route, but my range is pretty limited. Remote start only works from about 30 feet away. Though I suspect that the remote has a weak signal. because I did the same process on an explorer last year and was able to remote start from almost 75 yards.

Yes the range is not the best without the antenna. I have the antenna on the buy list. Not to worried yet but, winter is coming.

So this evening, I finally had a few moments to actually compare the range of my remote starter fob (Amazon) versus the dealer fob. For kicks I also compared an aftermarket switchblade fob which is coded to the truck but has the wrong keyblade. Here's the findings

Dealer fob: 40 Yards
3rd party remote starter fob: 22 Yards
3rd party switchblade fob: 40 Yards

*All fobs required pretty accurate aiming at maximum distance.
*Distance was measured by counting walking strides of approx 1 yard each.

I believe this confirms my suspicion that my remote starter fob has a weak signal. But it works and I'm not complaining. It certainly reached my driveway for cold mornings, and has no chance of reaching my truck in my work parking lot without a 3g remote starter, so all is good.

Now if you excuse me, I'll have to go back outside and explain to my neighbors why I am walking up and down the block chirping my alarm

Thanks for all the replies.
