Ford Super Duty Diesel Remote Start Installation Overview

• 1-Plug to Vehicle Installation: No wire cutting or splicing. Just 1 Y-connection to the rear of your vehicle's OBD2 port is all that's required to install this system into any 2017 through 2022 Ford Super-Duty Diesel with Standard Key Ignition and Remote Keyless Entry. The plug-in connection is made at the vehicle's OBD2 control module mounted below the driver's side dash, right behind your vehicle's OBD2 diagnostic connector (see example photos below.)
   
• After plugging it in, activation is done simply by turning the vehicle's ignition ON, waiting a few seconds for the GREEN LED to turn ON & OFF, then turning the ignition OFF, and you're done!
   
• No key programming procedures, no additional parts, no computers, or special dealer programmers involved.
   
• Go straight from delivery to installation.
   
• Easy Step-by-Step Illustrated Installation.
   
• Average Installaion Time: 20 Minutes.

Installing a remote starter into a 2017-2022 Ford Super Duty Diesel:

Step 1: Unplug the gateway connector from the rear of the vehicle's OBD2 module located on the lower left side of the driver's side dash and plug it into the corresponding female plug on the T-harness:
Step 2: Replace the vehicle's gateway plug with the plug from the T-harness:
Step 3: Plug the blue plug from the T-harness into the blue plug on the remote starter module:
Step 4: Turn the ignition ON (do not start the vehicle): When the Solid Green LED turns ON & OFF, turn the ignition OFF: DONE!

Remote Starter System Features:

• Activate this system by pressing your Ford's OEM keyless entry remote's lock button 3 times: The distance that you will be able to activate the remote starter will be the same distance that you can remotely lock and unlock your vehicle's doors now. If you think you would want longer range than your factory remotes provide now or in the future, you can always upgrade the system with any of our Viper D-series long-range remote packages: 
   
• Glow-Plug Warming Delay: The system will turn the ignition ON and wait 10 seconds (standard time) before cranking/starting the vehicle to allow for proper glow-plug and cylinder warming. Custom settings are available anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds in 1-second intervals. Custom setting option provided during checkout. Settings cannot be changed after installation.
   
• 15-Minute Remote Start Run Time: The engine will shut down automatically after 15 minutes.
   
• Active Remote Shut-Down: You can cancel the remote starter sooner the same way you activated it.
   
• Brake Pedal Monitoring for Security: If the vehicle's brake pedal is stepped on before the ignition is turned on, the remote starter will immediately shut down.
   
• Open Hood Monitoring for Safety: The remote starter will not activate if the vehicle's hood is open, and the remote starter will immediately shut down if the hood is opened while the vehicle is running by the remote starter. The vehicle must be equipped with an OEM hood-pin switch or an aftermarket version for this feature to apply.
   
• Active Key Takeover: The remote starter will not immediately shut down when the driver's door is opened.
   
• Automatic Heat & AC Activation: Automatically engages the vehicle's climate controls based on prior settings.
   
• Activates OEM autolights while running.
   
• Ford Dash Cluster Information Display Control: Set what options your vehicle has that the remote starter system can activate through your vehicle's settings display, like climate control, heated seats, heated steering wheel, and disable/enable remote start activation. Options will depend on the vehicle's trim and OEM features level. Equivalent to Ford OEM remote starter systems.

Remote Start Safety & Security Features:

• Brake Pedal Monitoring for Securiity: The remote starter will immediately shut down if the brake pedal is stepped on before the ignition is turned on.
   
• Open Hood Monitoring for Safety: The remote start will not activate with the hood open and would immediately shut down if the vehicle was running by the remote starter and the hood was opened.
   
• Equipped with the same OEM safety and operating restrictions as Ford's factory-installed remote starters: The system will detect any current or stored fault codes, which will prevent the remote starter from activating. If the hood is open, the transmission is not in park, the vehicle's battery voltage is too low, the check engine light is on, or any stored DTC codes (no visual lights on the dash) will prevent the system from activating (you can also consult your vehicle's owners/operators manual).
   
• Entrance security and safety: In addition, on most Ford vehicles, depending on how the OEM ECM was configured, it will only allow key takeover to be performed within an allotted amount of time after entering the vehicle. This time span can range from 45 seconds to 4 minutes before the engine will shut down if the key takeover procedure has not been performed (i.e., enter and turn your vehicle's ignition on).
   
• Fail-Safe Design: In the unlikely event of a component failure, the system cannot prevent you from starting your vehicle normally with a key.

2-Year Warranty & Unlimited Support:

• 2-Year QC Warranty: Though it's highly unlikely you would ever need warranty service for one of our systems, and we are so sure of it that in the unlikely event that it happens, once one of our tech's determines the problem, we will send you out the replacement within 48 hours with a prepaid return shipping package for the part we are replacing, at no expense to you; all your shipping costs are covered under your warranty.
   
• Unlimited 24/7 Access to Customer Support is available by phone, email, through our online Live Chat, and after-hours call-back answering service, 7 days a week. Contact information will be provided in your installation guide and on your receipt. Closed only on major holidays.
   
• 45-Day QC Money-Back Guarantee: With proven quality & performance with 10's of thousands of systems installed into vehicle's seen on the road today, if within 45 days from the date of delivery, if you're not totally satisfied with the quality or performance of the system, before or after installation, just send us an email or give us a call, and one of our technicians will send you a prepaid return shipping label with an RMA# via email at no cost to you. You will receive a full refund with no restocking fees. Believe it or not, the only time we really get a return is for 1 of 2 reasons: either they didn't install the system yet and they unexpectedly sold the vehicle, or they totaled it! It's true.
   
• Nationally Available Parts & Accessories: Lift the restrictions you have with generic, off-brand, or rebranded systems that limit your options to only a single source of parts & service. If you ever decide to upgrade your system or need a replacement part or remote in the future, not only can they be provided directly through MotorCityAutobahn.com, you can find any of the system's components and remote upgrades available all across the USA, from big box consumer electronics stores, online and off, to your local automotive accessories shop.
