► 2015-2020 Ford F-150 Remote Start Features

  • Dual-Activation Capability
    The system is activated using your existing Ford keyless entry remotes and optional Viper long-range remotes (offered during checkout).
  • Automatic Heat/Defrost/AC Activation
    Just leave your climate controls on the last setting where you need them when parking your truck, and the system will automatically turn them on shortly after you activate the remote starter system.
  • 15-Minute Remote Start Run Time
    The remote starter system will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.
  • Active Key Takeover
    The vehicle will stay running when the driver's door is opened, so you won't have to manually restart your truck with the key every time after you remote-start it
    .
  • Active Keyless Entry
    You won't lose your ability to remotely unlock the vehicle's doors while it's running by the remote starter, so you won't have to use the key to get into the vehicle.
  • Remote Start Cancel
    You can shut down the remote starter sooner the same way you activated it.
  • Menu Settings Control
    This system integrates directly with the vehicle's BCM, so you will be able to enable and disable the remote start through your vehicle's settings menu (a.k.a. valet mode).
  • Viper Long-Range Remotes Upgradeable
    Want 4 times more range than what your Ford factory remotes provide? No problem. 
    Go the distance with a set of Viper long-range transmitters and have the remote power to start your truck when you're standing in the checkout line and when it's parked around the corner. The remote upgrade can be installed now or also be added on and purchased later after installation if you find the need for the extra range in the future.
  • Without Horn Beep Confirmation Option
    This feature is only available with the purchase of any of the long-range remote upgrades offered during checkout.

  • Genuine Directed® Quality
    Powered by the global industry leader in automotive aftermarket electronics. CAD-programmed and QC-tested in-house with current Ford vehicle-specific architecture to ensure system-to-Ford OEM data-to-data integration.
