My expedition does not have a factory remote start but my wife would like one installed. Does anybody know the best aftermarket options that i can install myself?

You don't say which year truck you have, but the one offered by Ford through maybe 2014 was made by Code-Alarm and included all the proper plugs and harnesses for easy installation. It's a reliable unit. See if you can find one of them.

Or if you have a 15+ just buy the key and add remote start in Forscan.
Will cost you about $50 or slightly more if you don’t have an ODBII scanner.
But they come in very handy so you’ll get lots of use out of it aside from programming.

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.

Do you have a link to that? Been trying to find the right one. The install fairly straightforward?

Fortin - EVO-ONE - All-In-One... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PWUYWJ8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Fortin - FLASH-LINK - Fortin... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0141NFVJ6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share.

Install was straight forward. I ohmed harness after every connection. I'm 6'1" 240 so getting under dash not my favorite activity, but it wasnt that bad.

Lockitt Posi-Tap 6pc pack #605/6... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H242NNY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
