Bobby Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hey guys, Does anybody know if the "remote start" is only installed in the factory or is this an option the dealer can do with minimal possibility of mucking something up? Thanx in advance, Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgedout Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Got mine installed at the Dealer. If they do muck it up they will fix it. I have found out that if you do it yourself, or have an aftermarket store do it, the first time you have electrical problems the Dealer will say you caused them. Of course this was GM, so maybe Ford is different but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcas Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I installed one about 10 years ago in an F-150 and found it is worth every cent to have dealer do it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father in law works at a ford dealership over here and he told me that too, bcuz i was goin to get a after market remote start done cuz is cheaper but when i heard that i have to go tru ford.

MOFSTEEL Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I believe the remote start option was only about 145 if you bought it with the car. Hard to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baum Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Just to for-warn you the one that gets installed at a dealership is actually made by an aftermarket company. They just tell you the electrical bs and warranty crap to get you to buy theirs and they tron in a 36000 x 36 month warranty. They use the same wiring, same connections as an aftermarket. There is a law against dealerships not giving warranty work if its not directly related to the aftermarket remote start. Its the magnusson/moss act. Not to mention an aftermarket one will give you lots more range (even over fords 2-way unit), extra channels to add different functions (mine personally can opperate both heated seats independently, rear defrost, and hatch release. None of the ford ones will do all that. with up to 1 mile of range). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securinu Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Horse hockey dealer will say that but they cant do it any more, just there strong arm for them trying to get you to use the stealership idiots who dont know how to install there products. I do most ford dealers in the area remote starts for them including the factory ford ones.
