Ordered and successfully installed an aftermarket remote start, that uses my original Ford Keys to start the truck. Just push the door lock button 3 X's. Ordered it through MyPushCart.com.
http://shop.mypushcart.com/vehicle-remote-starters/
After calling them directly and asking, they discovered that the 2014 F150 would work with my 2016 Expedition, EVO-FORT1. Total cost, including shipping $119.95. Simple easy to install. Most of it is plug and play with only two wires that you need to strip back without cutting, I did solder method here to connect the CAN High and the CAN Low. They give you a very good Tip Sheet that you can download in a PDF as well as 2 YouTube videos showing step by step. They are located in AZ so if you need tech support make sure you know that they are M-F Arizona Time. All in all, I am very pleased and would recommend it, especially after my Ford dealership said it would be $750 and they would be giving me another key fob, something I did not want. Only issue with the entire set up is that you must have both sets of keys!!!! Curious if anyone else has heard or used this company for a remote starter or other products. LMK & Good Luck if you try

What happens when the outside drivers keypad buttons 7/8 and 9/0 are simultaneously pressed 3 times?

That looks like a pretty good deal. How long did it take to install? What do you have to do with the 2 keys? I bought my truck used and have 2 keys, but there is a 3rd programmed into the computer that I don't have. Think that will be an issue?

Prepping the wire harness video


Install video


You should contact them about the keys might be an issue but I doubt it
I bought mine used as well
As far as how long it took me about I took my time to be sure I didn’t cut the wrong wires so maybe 30-44 minutes for the harness prep
And maybe an hour in the truck
Good luck

The 2016 looks a little easier since it has a different wiring system. I also have to have an additional box with more connections for my 2010. Certainly looks doable, so I took the chance and ordered one.

Thanks for sharing this! I am new to the forum as I am in the market for a 2016 EL, and I would really like to have remote start, but it’s not installed in most of the used trucks I have looked at. If the dealer(not a Ford dealer) selling the truck only has one key, can a Ford dealer make a second one? Does you XLT have a push button start? Anyone know how that would change the install? I watched the videos, so the step where they alternate keys would have to be different.

Thanks.

My wife just bought the same kit for my 2010 as an early birthday present. I'm hoping tomorrow's weather is as forecasted so I can get out and attempt the install without losing feeling in my fingertips.

Good luck to both of us :)

Let me know how it goes and document where you picked up power, etc... That will make a great reference for anyone doing it in the future. I just got shipping info, but mine won't be here in time to do it this weekend...
