Randy inquired at the dealership about adding a remote start on his 2019 F-150. But, The dealer only offered an “add-on” remote kit. Therefore, Randy would have to carry a separate remote with his existing Ford flip key. Randy did not want to carry another remote! Randy, is a Corry, Pa resident and his truck only had about 2,000 miles on it. Therefore, Randy wanted a remote start that would complement his new truck.
2019 F-150 Remote Start requires no extra remotes
The Ford factory two-way OEM remote start was exactly what Randy was looking for! Therefore, no extra remotes to carry. The remote start is incorporated into a Ford factory flip key!
Remote Start MECP Installed
Randy dropped the truck off and went to breakfast with his wife. After that, MECP-certified technician Art Dougan started on the remote start installation. Similarly, our manager cut the new keys and programmed the Ford modules. The new Ford keys have the two-way LED light indicator built into them. For instance, green means remote start success and red for remote start failure.
After Art and Mike completed the install, Doug demonstrated the remote start operation. Doug also showed the remote start menus that now appear in the dash! Lastly, as Randy was leaving, he asked Doug for an owner’s manual. So, Doug showed him the Ford owner’s manual right in the glovebox! After all, it is a Ford Factory Remote Start!
