- Go straight from Delivery to Installation.

How the Remote Starter is Installed into a 2018 to 2023 Ford Mustang:
Step 1: Unplug the gateway connector from behind the vehicle's OBD2 plug located on the lower left side of the driver's side dash and plug it into the corresponding female plug on the T-harness, and replace the vehicle's gateway plug with the gateway plug from the T-harness...
Step 2: Plug the blue plug from the T-harness into the blue plug on the remote starter module...in response, the LED on the remote starter module will turn on Solid RED indicating power to the module...
Step 3: With your eyes on the LED, turn the ignition ON (do not start the vehicle): When you see the Solid RED LED turn to Solid Green then turn off, turn the ignition OFF...
Step 4: Test remote start activation: Exit the vehicle, close all the doors, and lock the doors with your factory remote; wait about a minute, then slowly press the LOCK button on your remote 3 times...after the vehicle remote starts, let it test run for at least a minute, then press the unlock button on your remote and enter the vehicle and press & release the brake pedal...in response the engine will shut down...
Step 5: Secure both the remote starter module and the T-harness up under the dash using the supplied nylon zip-ties. DONE!

2018 to 2023 Ford Mustang Remote Starter System Features:
- Activate this system by pressing your Ford's OEM keyless entry remote's lock button 3 times: The distance at which you will be able to activate the remote starter will be the same distance at which you can remotely lock and unlock your vehicle's doors now (Unless you upgrade. See system upgrade compatibility below.)
- 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.
- 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 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.
Have the luxury of getting into your Mustang in comfort no matter what the weather with automatic heat, defrost, and AC climate control activation. Get a head start on defrosting your windshield and warming up the interior all while drinking your coffee from the comfort of your home, or pre-cool the interior down on those hot workdays after it's been sitting out in the sun for hours.
Ford Remote Start Safety & Security Features:
- Brake Pedal Monitoring for Security: 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 will immediately shut down if the hood is opened while the vehicle is running by the remote starter.
- 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 low fuel light is on, 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.
QC 2-Year "Red-Carpet" Warranty | Unlimited Support:
- 2-Year QC Warranty: Though it's highly unlikely you would ever need warranty service for this system, and we are so sure of it that in the unlikely event that it happens, once one of our techs 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, YouTube, 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 tens of thousands of systems installed into vehicles 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.
- OEM Grade, Nationally Known Brand: Lift the restrictions you have with chinese generic, off-brand, or rebranded systems that limit your options to only one online source. 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, but you can also 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 the majority of your local automotive aftermarket accessories shops.

Just plug the antenna straight into the remote starter module, route and stick the antenna to the windshield, program the remotes, and you're done.
