    What is this noise on start up?

    My 2014 expy has done this since I bought it in 2015 with 40k miles on it. I didnt think it was the cam phasers, so wasnt too worried. Recently, out of boredom, determined it was a/c compressor engaging. But I didnt think about it being mounted low, and pag oil would settle. There are some...

    Aftermarket Remote Start

    I installed the Fortin on my 2014. Fortin uses existing key fob, depressing lock button 3 times starts vehicle. I didnt want an extra key fob in my pocket. Under $100 on amazon, $40 for flash unit. Fairly easy to install.

    remote start install

    I did not hook up the heated seats. Maybe that setup was in flash module, not sure. I dont want to disconnect the module to try. The remote start works. I'm happy. If you are able to enable heated seats, please post how you did it. Thank you.. scott
