Start-X Remote Starter Kit for Ford F-150 (2011-14), F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 (2011-16), Edge (2011-14), Expedition (2015-17), Explorer (2011-14) Vehicles | Key Ignition | Plug & Play Install

Easy install and works perfectly on my 2012 F-150 easy to operate using your own factory remote does require 2 ignition keys to program

Works exactly as described. Installation was very straight forward. I watched a video of someone else installing it for reference. I had it instslled in about 30min, and programming maybe took 2min. Quality overall was very good. All wiring was bundled and wrapped to give it an oem feel. As far as functionality, it works perfect. 3 lock presses on the key fob to start/shut off.

This product is great! Comes with everything you need. Was easy to install just followed the video and simple to use.

It can be a bit confusing that Amazon lists this as fitting a 2015 Explorer when the product description states 2011–2014, but I can confirm that it does work with a 2015 Explorer. The installation instructions are not accurate regarding the ignition wiring location. I followed a YouTube video titled “3X LOCK PLUG & PLAY REMOTE START 2011–2015 FORD EXPLORER,” which made the installation much clearer. The key fob programming sequence needs to be followed exactly as instructed, and it may take a few attempts, so don’t get discouraged. Once completed, everything worked as expected. Overall, this is a really good value and saved me a significant amount of money compared to having it professionally installed.

Easy installation, and it works awesome

Installed on a 2011 Ford Edge, took about 2 hrs. Very easy overall especially if you've had some experience removing panels and doing any radio wiring, CarPlay or backup camera installs etc. The kit comes with the plastic pry tool which was nice. Tip: The wiring harness has a 4-pin and 7-pin connector that both attach to the back of the ignition cylinder. In videos people reach up from under the dash to pull the clips out from the back of the cylinder which I found nearly impossible as I couldn't see and couldn't get my fingers in the right spot with enough leverage to pull... instead, take the ignition cylinder out. Remove the strip of paneling along the right leg of the driver and around the ignition and you'll see screws to remove, the cylinder will come right out and you'll have easy access to the rear to unplug the 4-pin and 7-pin connectors and then reconnect per the rest of the instructions. The programming was easy but took me two attempts (the first attempt ended with the car running and unable to shut off until I just removed the wires from the module and started over). Make sure you have both original keys. Very happy that this allows use of the existing keys, the car is started by pressing lock 3 times.

The instructions that was given did not work I followed everything to the T got to the key pairing/programming part and it didn’t work i tried it about 20 times and all I got is a red solid light at the end

Ok so I purchased this for my Wife and her F150 2013 ECO BOOST. Now I purchased a different remote control starter kit that claimed to be plug and play before however it was not.. and would not work even 10% of the time, so I was sceptical about this easy start remote starter kit. Suprisingly it installed very quickly and worked the very first time I attempted to start the truck. Three presses of the lock button and the truck starts right up. To turn the truck off without getting in you have to press the lock button again three times and it will shut down. Be carefull when exiting the car and going into a store or work as Ive had the turck start up and it will run for about 10 Minutes before the computer will shut it down unless you notice and turn it off yourself. Another thing I have noticed is if you remote start the truck and get in, decide you arent going anywhere and havent moved the vehicle you will not be able to turn it off with the key... you have to press the lock button three times or just move the car forward or backward then put it back in park and it will turn off with the key. Strange but whatever I suppose, all in all its been a god send for my wife in the mornings with a frozen truck window that will defrost from the comfort of the kitchen lol. It does have limited range, of whatever you can get your keyfob to lock the doors at lol, mine is about 40 feet or so. We park right infront of the house so it works great. Very happy with the overall application of the remote starter.

Super easy to install, from start to finish it was only 25 minutes. Everything was plug and play. Took a couple tries to program with the keys, just make sure you listen for 3, and only 3, chimes. My truck would chime 4 times and once the fourth happens it won’t program. Zip tied everything up under the dash and it all works great. Would definitely recommend for anyone that wants a remote starter.

Very simple install only have to take the steering column shroud off and its all plug and play. I took the knee bolster off to help run the harness but you can lay underneath and fish it through without. You WILL need 2 oem keys that are able to start the truck to be able to program the remote start. Just follow the instructions and you will have a working remote start in under an hour and only a few hundred bucks.

Installed it in my 2011 f150 in under 30min. Works great and instructions are easy to follow.

It works great, as described. The instructions that come with it are not the best, there’s a video for each model vehicle on their website. Just happy it works tbh 🤙🏻

Advertised correctly, comes with a link to an install instruction. Presuming you get your exact make/model I don't see why this would be a problem on any vehicle. Neat and tidy inline plug kinda install. I've got a bit of experience with cars and electronics but really anyone should be able to do this with the tools provided and a basic consumer grade toolkit. Make sure you have two legit keys already as that is required in the programing step. Just as if you were going to program a replacement remote you need to do it before you lose one of your original ones. Need two proper keys to program a 3rd (which is essentially how this works I would guess). Now hurry up and make one for a 2007 Xterra please.
