Ford Ranger Remote Start Installation Overview:

• 1 Plug to Vehicle Installation: No wire cutting or splicing. Just 1 T-harness connection to the rear of your vehicle's OBD2 port is all that's required to install this system into a 2019 to 2023 Ford Ranger with Push-to-Start ignitions (see example photos below.)
   
• True Plug-n-Play Installation! After plugging the T-harness into the vehicle and then into the remote starter module, the RED LED on the module will turn ON RED, indicating that the system is powered up;  Activation is simply done by turning the vehicle's ignition ON and watching for the GREEN LED on the module to turn ON solid for a few seconds and then turn OFF; next, turn the ignition OFF, and you're all done!
   
• No key programming procedures, no additional parts, no computers, or special dealer programmers involved.
   
• Go straight from Delivery to Installation.

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!
 

2019 to 2023 Ford Ranger Remote Starter System Features:

• Activate this system by pressing your Ford's Smart Key'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 what your factory remotes provide now, during, or after installation, you can always upgrade this system with any of the Viper™ D-series long-range remote packages. Just stick the antenna to the windshield, plug the antenna into the module, and then program the remotes to your system, and you're done. Get anywhere from 1200' to 1 mile of range depending on the model of remotes you choose. 
   
• 15-Minute Remote Start Run Time: The engine will shut down automatically after 15 minutes.
   
• Active Remotes 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.

Ford Ranger 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 a Ford factory-installed remote starter for Ford Rangers: 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.

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 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, 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.
   
• Nationally Known Parts & Accessories:  Lift the restrictions you have with generic, off-brand, or rebranded systems that limit your options to only one online source for 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, 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 your local automotive accessories shop.

Long-Range Remotes Upgrade Option: (sold separately):

• Need more range than your factory remotes provide?
  Easily plug & play upgrade your system any time during or after installation with any of DEI's (Viper, Python, Clifford, etc.) or Voxx/Prestige D-series models of digital remote packages, the best-selling and highest-performing remote transmitters in the industry! 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. Depending on which remote package you choose, you can boost the system to get anywhere from 1000' to over 1 mile of range.
   
• 2-Way Long-Range Remotes Upgradable: Have the system send back a signal to a remote that confirms that you successfully remote started your vehicle and/or locked or unlocked the vehicle's doors.
   
• Extended Range Keyless Entry BONUS:
  Upgrade this system any time during or after installation with any of Viper's digital remote kits as indicated above, and as a bonus, you'll enable the ability to also lock and unlock your vehicle from the same distance that you can remote start it.
