Take the technical difficulties and time-consuming labor out of remote starter installation with our 2016 to 2019 Ford Explorer vehicle-specific ready systems. Designed around Fortin’s EVO-ALL platform, these kits provide a fully plug-in installation, requiring no dealer programming, wire modifications, or extra parts. Go straight from delivery to installation in no time and enjoy the convenience both professionals and DIYers prefer.

Installers all across the US have experienced and appreciate the simplicity and precision of our system’s up-to-date revised designs, quality, and performance since we sold our first vehicle-specific ready system online back in 2002.

No blocking your OBD2 diagnostic plug! Unlike most systems that sacrifice your diagnostic port, our design uses a Y-connector, keeping your vehicle's OBD2 port in its original state, accessible for any diagnostic service. No need to unplug the remote starter system every time you need to use your vehicle's OBD2 port.

  • Active Remote Shut-Down: You can cancel the remote starter from running sooner the same way you activated it.
     
  • Brake Pedal Monitoring for Safety & Security: If you step on the brake pedal when the vehicle is running by the remote starter BEFORE the ignition is turned on with a key, the remote starter will immediately shut down.
     
  • Automatic HEAT/AC Activation: Just leave your climate control settings on where you want them when parking the vehicle, and the system will automatically turn them on after you activate the remote starter.
     
  • Active Key-Takeover: The engine will not shut down when the driver's door is opened.
     
  • Open-Hood Monitoring for Safety & Security: The remote starter cannot be activated when the hood is open, and it would shut down if the hood was opened when the vehicle was running by the remote starter (the vehicle must be equipped with a factory-installed hood-pin switch for this feature to work).

System Installation:

  • 100% Plug-in Installation. No wire cutting or splicing. One Y-connection to your vehicle behind the vehicle's OBD2 connector below the driver's dash is all that's required to install this system into any 2016 to 2019 Ford Explorers with standard key ignitions.
     
  • No OBD2 Diagnostic Plug Interference: Unlike some systems that block your diagnostic port, our design uses a Y-connector, keeping your vehicle's OBD2 port in its original state, accessible for any diagnostic service. No need to unplug the remote starter system every time you need to use the OBD2 port.
     
  • 100% In-Vehicle Programming: Just 1 key to your vehicle is all that's required to program this system to your vehicle. No special dealer programmers, computers, or downloads are involved. Go straight from delivery to installation in about an hour.
     
  • Vehicle-Specific Factory Fit T-Harness: No wires or extra plugs to sort through that are left over and not used, meant for other Ford vehicles. This provides an easier-to-understand installation and a cleaner, more professional-looking install when finished. The plugs on the provided T-harness have just the connections you use for your specific vehicle, nothing else.
     
  • Vehicle-Specific Step-by-Step Installation Guide: A clear & concise illustrated step-by-step installation guide that will walk you through every step of the installation. Written by professional installers for the DIY installer.
     
  • Installation Video Demo: Can be viewed on our YouTube channel by clicking HERE 


Warranty & 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. The warranty begins from the date of delivery.
     
  • 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. Closed only on major holidays.
     
  • 45-Day QC Money-Back Guarantee: With proven quality & performance with 10's of thousands of systems installed into vehicles seen on the road today, if you’re not totally satisfied with the quality or performance of your system, before or after installation, just send us an email or give us a call, and one of our technicians will email you a prepaid return shipping label with an RMA# for a full refund with no restocking fees, at no cost to you. 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 & Available: Lift the restrictions you have with generic, off-brand, and rebranded systems that limit your options to only one source of parts & service. MotorCityAutobahn designs and assembles systems using the automotive aftermarket's industry-leading components. If you do 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 components and remote upgrades available all across the USA, from big box consumer electronics stores, online and off, to most of your local automotive accessories shops.


Upgradable Options: Get the Distance! (sold separately):

  • Need more range than what your factory remotes provide? Easily upgrade your system any time during or after installation with any of Fortin's EVO-4-Series or EVO-9-Series lines of long-range remote packages. Just plug the antenna into the blue plug on the system harness, then 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 1300 to over 2000' of range.
