Hey Sean, You should look into swapping out the running board brackets for the F-150 brackets... VERY simple mod that raises the running boards to just below the door line. Makes the truck look SUPER sweet!! The swap out takes about 5-7 minutes per bracket as all the holes are the same! I would put a pic in here of the results, but it doesn't allow them.. GREAT videos man!! Keep it up!!!
Getting ready to do some work on my F150 with ForScan and was happy to see you had a video using it as well. Seems doable once you understand how it works!
dude!!!! im just learning this forscan stuff. it is AMAZING!!! gonna save me a TON of money for some upgrades like my trailer control, remote start and stupid auto start stop.
I've watched this video a dozen times now so I could build up the nuts to do it. Hopefully it'll be a success. 🙏🏼 Used your method. Worked like a charm. I'll admit, I was skerred, but now I have remote start and I set up Global Windows down/up while I was at it. Thanks brother.
I'm going to install this on my dad's truck for Christmas, I appreciate you taking the time to make this awesome tutorial. I got the part from my local dealer for a very good price but they wanted $175 just for the activation! This is going to save me some dough and give me an interesting project. Thanks!
I tried this with my iPhone, bought the OBD2 deal, paid for the forescan app and could complete nothing. Very bummed out by this purchase. Glad it worked for you.
You need to use a computer, the phone app can't do anything compared to the program. Also FORScan is a FREE product... Whoever asked you to pay just scammed you unfortunately
When you remote start on cold days does it let the glow plugs run? I guess what I asking is she you start with a key you wait till the squiggly line goes away before you turn the truck over. Does the remote start do that too?
So if you already have the VSS, from what I have gathered you just need the 4 button remotes and the antenna/receiver. Remotes are like $40 each and the antenna can be found for around $100-$150
Did you have any issues with the alarm getting more sensitive? I put this on my 2022 and got it all working and just the garbage truck driving by set my alarm off. Just wanted to see if someone else had the same issue.
I just bought a 21 f250 stx and it came with heated and power mirrors. I bought mirrors that have the running lights and turn signals but they don’t work. It’s all wired up and they plugged right in. I’m at the dealer now thinking they could turn that function on but they said they couldn’t, do you think that scan tool will cut those functions on? Thanks
ever have issues with the AC or heat changing when you use the remote start? My heater comes on every time i use it, and you're close enough to Houston to know that's not going to fly.
At end of video you plugged in a small plug with a wire looped back into itself. Then vehicle started. Did it come with kit or did you buy it seperate? If seperate where purchased and how much? Thanks, marvin
@moostang09 thanks for replying. Called your ford supplier and asked them about the jump wire an they denied there was one in package. Found same part less the jump wire for $109. Going to make my own jump wire.
Moostang, love the videos! I installed this on my 2017 xlt, it worked great for a while but now when I hit my brakes all my climate controls shut off. As soon as I let oof the brakes it comes back on. Did you have this problem or do you think there's a short in the wiring somewhere?
I installed the remote start as described. Remote start works great. I did have an issue with the parameter alarm activating every time my wife pulled in and out of the garage. I adjusted the sensitivity switch and alarm, at least audible part, stopped. Now I find my truck batteries are low. Any known fixes??? Please help
I installed this module on my ‘18 F250 and although remote start works great this activates the perimeter sensing alarm which I hate. My truck horn is always chirping and lights flashing every time a motorcycle or loud truck drives by my house. I had to remove this module to make it stop.
Hey, I have a 2017 super duty and you say in the video that this part number is for a 2017 to 2019. I was looking around and the dealership site says the part number you listed is for a 2018 to 2019 and part number for the 2017 is FT4Z-19A361-A. Do you have any insight as to which is correct for a 2017? Thanks in advance.
I'm a tech at Ford. You are correct. This is for 2018 and up. The 2017 was the last year for the old style which uses it's own FOBs and the installation of a antenna. Part #s are FT4Z-19A361-A and EL3Z-19G364-B.
I'm a new subscriber and love your videos, binge watch... i"m in South Dakota and would love to find someone to add the auto start to my Ford XLT key fob.
I jusy subscribed. I want to instsall auto start. Been learning from your videos. I just bought 2020 F250 XL with no whistles or bells but would want to add this auto start. Thanks. Full-watch.
Hey moostang, did you notice how much range you have on your remote start? I have installed the same kit and can’t remote start it unless I am right next to the truck with the remote, tried a fresh battery. Just curious if you have noticed this with yours.
I still can’t get into the module to add trans temp to the top of the gauge using forscan. But have been able to do just about everything else I’ve wanted.
Hey guys... In my bmcii there is no option for remote start. Only for the jerk lights at remote start. Does anyone know how to Activate the remote start option in the bcm?!
HELP!!!! Ok, I have the OBDII connector from your list above from Amazon. I got the VINT-TT55502 with the HS/MS switch. I cannot find the driver. Do you have any links to get me going? My remote start module should be here shortly.
I have a 2020 f-450 and the damn thing used to start with my phone never with the remote and now I have to manually do it with the key such a drag now lol I don’t get it
I gave up. Over my head. I am computer illiterate and just about threw my computer across the garage. It’s only the second time I’ve turned it on in probably two years. Lol. Thanks for the video but I will take it to Ford before I jack things up.
I have that control for 3 years now engine light came on take for dealer say have code p20ee and exhaust small bad the say bc that is conect dlc is why truck have problems with exhaust and dpf not sure if that is true
Have you ever heard of a kit that allows you to add the push button start feature? I have the remote start on my Lariat but don’t have the push to start and want to add it if possible. Thank you.
The perimeter sensor is way too sensitive IMO. I brought my truck to the Ford dealer to adjust sensitivity and the alarm still goes off every time a loud motorcycle or truck drives by my driveway. I finally uninstalled this module to go back to stock 😢
I had a 2017 super duty diesel with remote start from the factory and on cold days it seems to wait a few seconds longer than normal after initiating the start-up before it cranked over. It always started right up, even on very cold days in Colorado. I think that the ECM, once you activate the remote start function, will know what to do.
You are the man and have me pumped with all the mods you have done. I appreciate you brother and keep them videos coming for the super duty!

Finally another 250 video! Love it! Great job my friend. Fellow Texan super duty owner.
Finally installed it on my 2019 F250. Works like a charm, thanks for the post!
how did you unencript the key from forscan??
@@tjenkins1964 I did not have to unencrypt the key, I only enabled remote start in Forescan and that was it as I remember..
I'm going to install this on my dad's truck for Christmas, I appreciate you taking the time to make this awesome tutorial. I got the part from my local dealer for a very good price but they wanted $175 just for the activation! This is going to save me some dough and give me an interesting project. Thanks!
Awesome gift for your dad. He will love it man! Thanks for checking out the video.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Worked flawlessly!
Thanks for the excellent video! I learned a lot today.
Thanks for watching!
Can you also use the Ford Pass app to use remote start along with the key fob?
Do you recall how you were able to add the remote start settings to the dash? I followed everything else and all is well so far. Thank you.
After further review, the Remote start dash does not come up in my Forscan at all. Im not sure why or how to add it.
I tried this with my iPhone, bought the OBD2 deal, paid for the forescan app and could complete nothing. Very bummed out by this purchase. Glad it worked for you.

Hi, I'm new to your channel and am very interested in doing this to my 2019 F250!! I'm just a tab bit afraid that I will mess something up.
Hey is it possible to upgrade your driver door from stock to one with keyless entry
Does disabling the perimeter alarm take off when someone is near and what everyone has been talking about?
Why can’t I see the links to the parts you used ? Or am I missing something?
I just bought a 21 f250 stx and it came with heated and power mirrors. I bought mirrors that have the running lights and turn signals but they don’t work. It’s all wired up and they plugged right in. I’m at the dealer now thinking they could turn that function on but they said they couldn’t, do you think that scan tool will cut those functions on? Thanks
There is a aftermarket remote start available with no programing. Any reason to use this one over the other one at $98.
ever have issues with the AC or heat changing when you use the remote start? My heater comes on every time i use it, and you're close enough to Houston to know that's not going to fly.
Deleting the truck anytime soon?
Hey Sean I have watched a lot of your videos, do you know if this would work on my 19 f250 stx model truck,
At end of video you plugged in a small plug with a wire looped back into itself. Then vehicle started. Did it come with kit or did you buy it seperate? If seperate where purchased and how much? Thanks, marvin
Hey Marvin, everything came in the kit except for the Forscan device. Bought that on Amazon.
@moostang09 thanks for replying. Called your ford supplier and asked them about the jump wire an they denied there was one in package. Found same part less the jump wire for $109. Going to make my own jump wire.
Does this kit work for 2021 f250
Does this work if you have the remote start by app but no fob button? Would love to not use app every time
Try falken 70 k miles great vid thanks
Moostang, love the videos! I installed this on my 2017 xlt, it worked great for a while but now when I hit my brakes all my climate controls shut off. As soon as I let oof the brakes it comes back on. Did you have this problem or do you think there's a short in the wiring somewhere?

hey Sean i'm having an issue getting the key code from forscan, the emailed key the sent is encrypted, any ideas??
What if you don’t have a key fob? I have a 18 XL
I subbed at "I'm a dingleberry" Great video. I have a 2016, just watched out of curiosity. :)
Haha, thanks man! Gotta admit fault when it happens. Lol.
Any chance this will work for the 2023 ford transit..thanks for the great vid
Nice, but how does it affect the fuel pump system that should be on before you start it on these 6.7's?
Does that give glow plug time to warm up ?
Same question I have.
Is there a way to program the spot lights on the mirror to come on at any speed?
Hey, I have a 2017 super duty and you say in the video that this part number is for a 2017 to 2019.

What headlights are you running
Did the touchscreen come with the truck??
Can you turn on the features with Forscan before installing the hardware?
I’m wonder if this will work for a 17 xlt gas truck?
I'm a new subscriber and love your videos, binge watch... i"m in South Dakota and would love to find someone to add the auto start to my Ford XLT key fob.
Before you did this, Could you remote start your truck from the ford pass app?
Can you use that to instal the oem third brake light camera
How far away can you be to be able to turn it on ?
I jusy subscribed. I want to instsall auto start. Been learning from your videos. I just bought 2020 F250 XL with no whistles or bells but would want to add this auto start. Thanks. Full-watch.

can you please update your mods page ....when u click on links to buy every single item is no longer avail.
I’ll look into Dom. Thanks for the heads up!
@@moostang09 Great thanks just bought a 2019 XLT got a great piano mean… Looking forward to doing every single mod that you’ve done thank you again
Hey guys... In my bmcii there is no option for remote start. Only for the jerk lights at remote start. Does anyone know how to Activate the remote start option in the bcm?!
Im gonna install the same module on my edge 2016, I have froscan ready, do you know if is the same part #?
Does this also allow you to start from FordPass?
Will this leave a foot print on the ECM ?
HELP!!!! Ok, I have the OBDII connector from your list above from Amazon. I got the VINT-TT55502 with the HS/MS switch. I cannot find the driver. Do you have any links to get me going? My remote start module should be here shortly.
This is a cool add, but you can remote start any Ford vehicle with the FordPass app. Regardless of the veggie came with it or not
You in the Houston area ? Could use some help
I wonder if it will work with a manual s550
I have a 2020 f-450 and the damn thing used to start with my phone never with the remote and now I have to manually do it with the key such a drag now lol I don’t get it
As for the ( As Built Format) Every time I click the Play button it says “Sorry you need an Extended License to run this function”
You can go to this website and get a free extended license. I think you have to do it every 30 days or so. Its easy. forscan.org/forum/extlic.php?
@@moostang09
Thanks man! You rock! 🤟🏻🤟🏻
I gave up. Over my head. I am computer illiterate and just about threw my computer across the garage. It’s only the second time I’ve turned it on in probably two years. Lol. Thanks for the video but I will take it to Ford before I jack things up.
Will this work for a 2020 F-250 7.3L XLT?
Can I do this on a 2020 F250?
So you don't need the harness that connects to the lights switch?
no you don't I also only needed forscan to enable the lights otherwise was able to do it with just the keys on my 2019
UPFITTER SWITCHES PLS
Does this stay in your obd port at all times?
I have that control for 3 years now engine light came on take for dealer say have code p20ee and exhaust small bad the say bc that is conect dlc is why truck have problems with exhaust and dpf not sure if that is true
Will this work on a 22?
Does this work on the 2020?
this is great!!!
will it work for f350
Will this work on a F-150?
Here for the same. I'm likely doing this in the next few days.
Did you have to install a hood switch kit?.
No sir my truck had one already from the factory.
@@moostang09 awesome. My 2018 explorer uses the same kit. Im buying the kit from Heller Ford.
I love this video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂🎉😅😅😊😊😊😊😊
Will I be able to do this if my truck is deleted?
My ez lynk is plugged into my obd
@@loganleray6694 the ezlynk doesnt have to stay plugged in
I just downloaded the ford pass app for free and i can crank my truck from anywhere in the world
I will look into that for my 14 mustang
Thanks
Part number of the kit?
Have you ever heard of a kit that allows you to add the push button start feature? I have the remote start on my Lariat but don’t have the push to start and want to add it if possible. Thank you.
Ian I have not. I am actually wanting to look into that for my dad. He has a lariat like you but not push button.
moostang09 thanks brother. Love the channel. I have a 2019 and you have inspired me to do a lot in my truck. Keep up the good work.
what about the shock/impact sensor that is included on the module, did you try it ?? thats the most important part LOL
The perimeter sensor is way too sensitive IMO. I brought my truck to the Ford dealer to adjust sensitivity and the alarm still goes off every time a loud motorcycle or truck drives by my driveway. I finally uninstalled this module to go back to stock 😢
Saw another commentator ask. In cold weather how does it wait for the glow plugs?
