2011 Remote Start Options
I'm debating whether to get the factory remote start or an after-market (Viper) system on my 2011 Expy Ltd. I've heard that the Viper can be run from the factory key (multiple presses of the unlock button), but I believe that the factory system requires a separate fob. Is that correct, or can the factory system be used without an extra fob?
Wes, I posted this on another forum...
I took my new 2011 to the dealer as this is definitely not the way a remote start should work. They said the same as others have posted on this site. Can't be changed...
Well it can. Doing so will bypass the MyKey Feature of the used key. So if you are concerned about it you can set the remote start key to a restricted key. This will leave the car in the restricted mode when it is started using the Remote.
Here is the way to change it: This was posted by another user (Mustang46) on another forum.
It only takes 4-5 minutes to do this.
The button you need to get into programming mode is located under your dash and is taped under there. Mine was close to the OBDC jack.

Not sure which link you mean but mine on page 9 all worked for meThis link is dead. Does anyone have a copy of this info?
Hello everyone, new to the site. It looks like this may be the right thread for this post. I recently bought a 2013 Ford Expedition limited. It has the factory auto start with the separate square key fob. The actual key fob with blade that you would use to place in the ignition to manually start the truck is the four option version. Lock, unlock, hatch open and alarm. My question is, if I purchased the five option key fob with the auto start button in the center, and programmed the key, could I get rid of the second fob and just use the one? Thanks in advance for your help!
