New 2016 Owner - with plenty of questions

If you want OEM remote start....all you need is a key kit from the dealer. The PCM has remote start built in. You will get 2 new keys for the remote start and your old key will still work normally. I have the feature in mine and works great!

Do you know the part number? Can install myself and turn it on via ForScan?

Thanks

What did you figure out on this?

It would appear you don't need anything installed. It's built-in to the computers, just needs new keys and to flip a flag in FORScan. You posted in the other thread about it that I'm pulling this from.

I highly doubt the dealer would switch it for you without charging you, but it's pretty easy to do on your own.

I would have to research the part number...Ford calls it a "Remote Start Kit" but when you open the box it's just the two new keys. Yeah I got charged for "labor" by the dealer. LOL At least it's factory!

Factory remote start is the bestest!! This should become a standard option on every make and model car like bluetooth is becoming.
