Glad I didn't go with the dealer. Amazing how a Ford tech can just happen to not know how to program remote start fobs. Incompetence or dishonesty? I'm thinking the latter.
Mine is broken as well and I'm not only amazed at how expensive a replacement is, but how ridiculous it is to locate the correct piece!
I figure this is a better choice since I'm sure we'll end up breaking replacement piece eventually as well.
Any chance you can post a picture after the drilling?
I was able to get them working!
Thanks to stamp11127 for the PDF on the remote start systems. I got under neath my steering wheel behind the dash. Found a remote start override button and was able to program both remote start fobs.
Dealer wants to replace the whole system, which is believe is there way of making me pay more when they could just fix it.
I followed the steps in the video I linked which simply using my regular programmed car keys. I put each one in, switched them to on, then pressed the remote start...
That's what I was thinking as well.
I watched this video as I was getting the same issue that was shown.
I tried reprogramming them to no avail.
Has the transponder ring possibly failed? It seems odd that my car keys would still work if it did.
I don't think it's an issue with the battery in the remote, as I have two remote start fobs like the one pictured and they both activate the cars remote start but don't deactivate the anti theft portion of the system. Although I guess it's possible they're both low batteries? Why would it work...
The factory remote start in my 2012 Expedition EL Limited is not functioning. When I press the remote start, the car goes through the typical process but never turns over or cranks. After this, the anti-theft light blinks rapidly.
I've attempted the 2 key reprogramming method to no avail. I'm...
Great points you've made. My reasoning for not liking the headrests is because I have twin toddlers and their older sister. I've also got one more on the way, which means one of the twins will have to sit in the back making it so they can't see the video.
I personally don't mind an obstructed...

I recently posted about getting video from my head unit to my head rests. Well, one of my kids pulled on the screen and broke the passenger side screen. Honestly, I don't really like the head rests and I think this will be my excuse to get a roof mounted DVD player...

Is it feasible to connect control box for my headrest players to the head unit? The sound quality is pretty cruddy on the FM transmitter and my kids aren't quite old enough to figure out how to run DVDs themselves.
Simply, I want to put a DVD into the headunit and be...
