Default Push Button Start Kit

Hi, I have a 2019 F-150 XL (STX trim) that has a standard key ignition. I want to convert it to a push button start. I found a kit on Amazon that has the push button start along with remote start and keypad entry, here's the link to the EasyGuard product:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0892G9CYF/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1SA56RC74SFNE&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0892G9CYF/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1SA56RC74SFNE&psc=1

Has anyone had this kit installed? and have you been happy with it's performance?

I find that most installers won't touch this kit or any other push-button start kit for that matter. I've read through previous posts where this is touched on, but the conversation usually devolves into snarky comments, hoping this thread will be different.

If you've had a push-button kit installed that you'd recommend, I'd love your feedback.
Thank you!

I have zero experience with these, but I would caution that any listing I find that has a clear language translation issue I don't buy from. The seller is in China, and has only had 80 ratings in the past 12 months, of which 9 happened in the last 90 days. Doesn't seem high volume enough to make me feel warm and fuzzy.

Thank you for the feedback! I have my reservations as well, but this seems to be the only option for what I'm wanting to do. Of course, it could be that they know this and are capitalizing on this gap in the market. Much appreciated!

I feel the same as Ricktwuhk, if there was an OEM option at a reasonable price i would totally jump on that.

I think the OEM option is a Lariat... Tad bit more than 150 bucks on amazon lol... I looked at the STX's. And for the most part.. Things on an XLT can be added to them at a reasonable cost. Most of us change things out anyway.. The keypad on the door was a biggy for me.. I use the **** out of that and the STX didnt have it.. And I didnt want to fool with trying to make one work.. I know none of this answers your questions, but I hope you find an option to suit your needs.
