How to add remote start using forscan

mquick5 · Oct 19, 2018

The OP in message #5 says his did not work? It's been getting in the low 30's here, with a few frost alrdy. I haven't looked yet in the bcm to see if I have the remote start option. When I get time I will. If the option is there, then I'll try to find some remote keys @eBay. If it don't work, worst I'll be out is the key & cutting cost, but will have a couple more spare keys atleast.

It would be nice to have a link, to where the latest poster purchased his keys. Hopefully he will post back up soon.

I don't know how, but I missed the post # 8 with the key link...

Also I just checked, and the option to enable remote start is in forscan for me!

I just came here to say, I did what the video does (turn the remote start on in Forscan) and had 2 remote start keys cut and we now have remote start on our 2017 EL XLT. No modules were required.

I picked up 2 keys from Amazon for $40 that had the remote start button. The dealer told my wife when they were programming them that the remote start would not work without some extra parts. I told her to ignore them...

I'm confused, if you we're able to follow the video showing how to enable remote start using FORScan, what was the issue with programing the keys your self? Also did your dealer cut the new keys as well, if so what was the total charge for programing and or cutting?

When we bought our Expedition used it only came with one key, otherwise I would of programmed the keys myself. They charged my $60 to cut and program the 2 keys that I bought on Amazon.

I wasn't sure if it would work or not, but we needed to get at least another key anyways.

If FORSCAN shows the plain English option then your modules should support it. Won’t show if it doesn’t. Have Keys cut, and make sure they are the correct Remote Start version of the Key for your year. Then add key to vehicle and start should work.

One more question, did the keys come with the batteries in the fobs? I can't see any info on that on the Amazon link.

I'm ready to give this a try, since I do have the plain English option. What get's me about the video link from Nick the car guy, he also has a video showing how to install the hardwired kit, on what looks like the same Ford Fusion?

But he may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, check out his video on keyless entry code! Specifically he's explanation on the possibilities of the codes, once it's revealed in FORScan.

Yes, the keys came with batteries.
