Top-of-the-Line 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 find that you would like longer range than what your factory remotes provide, now or in the future, you can always upgrade this system with any of Directed Electronics' popular Viper, Python, Clifford, and AutoMate lines of DS3/DS4 compatible long-range remote kits with dozens of remote styles to choose from. Turn this system into a 1-way or 2-way confirming LCD remote starter and boost the system's range anywhere from 1300' up to 1 mile of range, depending on which remote upgrade kit you choose.
- 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 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.
Enter your Explorer 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. Place your order today, and you'll be remote starting your vehicle about this time next week!
Remote Start Safety & Security Features:
- Brake Pedal Monitoring for Security: The vehicle's steering column remains locked, and the remote starter will immediately shut down if the brake pedal is stepped on before the key takeover is performed (see "key takeover" above).
- 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 if the vehicle is running by the remote starter. The vehicle must be equipped with a factory-installed hood-pin switch; the majority are. To check to see if your vehicle is equipped, simply start your vehicle and then pull the hood release lever. When equipped, your dash cluster display will indicate that the hood is ajar.
- 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.

"Your Fastest Route to Remote Starter Installation"
|
Top-of-the-Line 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 find that you would like longer range than what your factory remotes provide, now or in the future, you can always upgrade this system with any of Directed Electronics' popular Viper, Python, Clifford, and AutoMate lines of DS3/DS4 compatible long-range remote kits with dozens of remote styles to choose from. Turn this system into a 1-way or 2-way confirming LCD remote starter and boost the system's range anywhere from 1300' up to 1 mile of range, depending on which remote upgrade kit you choose.
- 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 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.
Enter your Explorer 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. Place your order today, and you'll be remote starting your vehicle about this time next week!
Remote Start Safety & Security Features:
- Brake Pedal Monitoring for Security: The vehicle's steering column remains locked, and the remote starter will immediately shut down if the brake pedal is stepped on before the key takeover is performed (see "key takeover" above).
- 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 if the vehicle is running by the remote starter. The vehicle must be equipped with a factory-installed hood-pin switch; the majority are. To check to see if your vehicle is equipped, simply start your vehicle and then pull the hood release lever. When equipped, your dash cluster display will indicate that the hood is ajar.
- 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.
2-Year "Red-Carpet" 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, YouTube channel, 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 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.
- OEM Grade, Nationally Known Brand: Lift the restrictions you have with chinese generic, off-brand, or rebranded systems that limit your options to only a single 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 accessories shops.
