Ford F-150 DIY Remote Start System

Cruise right through your installation with a DIY Remote Starter kit from MotorCityAutobahn.com. True vehicle-specific systems with no plugs or harnesses intended for other Ford vehicles, so there’s never any vehicle-specific computer programming with manuals to download before installation. No detours, just a direct route from delivery to your F-150 following our step-by-step installation guide we mapped out for you.

2011-2014 Ford F-150 Remote Start Installation Details

• No Computer Programming Involved
  No vehicle-specific computer programming or manuals to download before installation. Just go straight from delivery to your truck for installation.
   
• ► 2 Keys Required for In-Vehicle, System-to-Vehicle Programming:
  2 original Ford OEM keys or aftermarket OEM-equivalent replacement keys are required for the in-vehicle, system-to-vehicle programming. Over-the-counter cloned key replacements will not work. You must have 2 keys to the vehicle that have been separately programmed to the vehicle's anti-theft system (a.k.a. the Ford PATS system) to install any aftermarket remote starter system into these vehicles that do not require computer programming.
  
  TECH TIP: If you are not sure about your vehicle's current key situation (as described above), click on the "?" below, and a technician will provide you with the information you need to perform a quick test in your truck to confirm you have the required keys before making a purchase.
   
• DIY Plug-In T-Harness Installation
  3 plugs to vehicle T-harness installation: 2 plug-in connections at the vehicle's ignition cylinder assembly on the steering column and 1 in series with the vehicle's OBD2 port.
   
• No OBD2 Port Blocking
  You won't lose normal access to your vehicle's OBD2 port. No unplugging the remote start system every time the vehicle's OBD2 port is needed for vehicle service or additional accessories.

• Open Hood for Safety Pin Switch (included option)
  Is your specific F-150 not equipped with a factory-installed hood pin switch, but you would like to have this safety feature? No problem, the setup supplies a hood pin switch that you can install under the hood to provide this safety feature.

• ON/OFF Remote Start Inhibit Toggle Switch (included option)
  Turn off the ability to activate the remote starter with just the flip of a switch. The setup also includes an optional mini ON/OFF toggle switch that you can install under the driver’s side dash in an easily accessible spot that you can use to quickly disable the remote start from being activated.

• Step-by-Step Illustrated Installation Guide
  We also have many demo installation videos for this same system (part # F4-2K) on our YouTube channel.

Ford F-150 Remote Start Features

• Dual-Activation Capability
  The system is activated using your existing Ford keyless entry remotes and optional Fortin long-range remotes (offered during checkout).
• Automatic Heat/Defrost/AC Activation
  Just leave your climate controls on where you need them when parking the vehicle, and the system will automatically turn them on shortly after you activate the remote starter system.

  Choose whether to hear the vehicle’s horn beep when you activate the remote start or just silently flash the parking lights upon activation. Your choice is included and provided during checkout.

  15-Minute Remote Start Run Time (standard). Want more or less remote start run time? No problem. Your choice of a shorter or longer run time is an included option provided during checkout.
• Active Keyless Entry
  You won't lose your ability to remotely unlock the vehicle's doors while it's running by the remote starter, so you won't have to use the key to get into the vehicle.
• Remote Start Cancel
  You can shut down the remote starter sooner the same way you activated it.
• Active Key Takeover
  The remote starter stays running when the driver's door is opened, so you won't have to manually restart your truck with the key every time after you remote-start it.
• Includes 2 OEM-Equivalent Keyless Entry Remotes
  Includes a set of spare remotes that you can easily program to your truck anytime before or after installation (not required) that will activate the remote start and lock and unlock your truck's doors. DIY programming guide and pre-loaded batteries included.
• Fortin™ Long-Range Remotes Upgradeable
  Want 8X more range than what your factory remotes provide? No problem, plug in and upgrade this system any time during or after installation with a set of Fortin™ RFK-411 long-range remotes (offered during checkout). This system will work with both your factory remotes and the RFK-411 remotes at the same time.

Safe & Secure Remote Start Operation

• Brake Pedal Monitoring
  If the brake pedal is stepped on before the ignition is turned on with the key, the remote starter will immediately shut down.

  The system will not activate when the vehicle's hood is open and will immediately shut down if the hood is opened when the vehicle is running by the remote starter (not required for operation).

• Open Hood for Safety Pin Switch (included option)
  Is your specific F-150 not equipped with a factory-installed hood pin switch, but you would like to have this safety feature? No problem, the setup supplies a hood pin switch that you can install under the hood to provide this safety feature.

Lifetime Warranty

• The automotive aftermarket's best warranty
  Providing the highest quality components in the industry means you can provide the best warranty coverage; though it's highly unlikely you would ever need warranty service for a Fortin™ system, in the rare event once one of our techs determines a component failure, we will email you a prepaid return shipping label for the part we are replacing at no expense to you; all replacement costs are covered under your warranty for the lifetime of the vehicle in which the system was originally installed. Limitations and exclusions apply; non-transferable
• 1-Year Limited Warranty on Remotes
