2023-2026 Ford Super Duty Remote Start
DIY Installation Details:

• Installation Overview
  One T-harness plug to the vehicle's OBD2 port that is mounted on the lower left below the driver's side dash, and 2 x T-Tap connections are made to two wires seen running into the black plug behind the driver's side left kick panel. See the example photo below (photos are also provided in the installation manual).
   
• No Computer Programming Required
  No computer programming or internet access required before installation.
   
• No Downloads
  No vehicle-specific manuals to download, just go straight from delivery to your truck for installation.
   
• No OBD2 Port Blocking
  You won't lose normal access to your vehicle's OBD2 port. So there's no having to unplug the remote start system when the vehicle's OBD2 port is required for vehicle service or additional accessories.
   
• No Dash Trim or HVAC Removal Required
  Since we instead utilize the vehicle's OBD2 port and the two CAN HI/LO wires in the vehicle for installation behind the driver's side left kick panel for easier installation (see photos below), there's no need to access the vehicle's gateway module located at the rear of the vehicle's climate controls.
   
• Step-by-Step Installation Guide
  An illustrated step-by-step installation guide with color photos is included that will walk you through the entire installation.
   

Ford Super Duty Remote Start Features

• Dual-Activation Capability
  The system can be activated using your existing Ford keyless entry remotes by pressing the lock button 3 times and optional Viper® long-range remotes (offered during checkout).
   
• Automatic Heat/Defrost/AC Activation
  Just leave your climate controls on the last setting 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 start will automatically shut down after 15 minutes has elapsed.
   
• 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.
   
• Active Key Takeover
  The remote starter stays 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.
   
• Gas and Diesel Compatible
  The system automatically interfaces with the vehicle's PCM to allow for proper glow plug and cylinder warming before starting for Ford Super Duty equipped with diesel engines.
   
• Long-Range Remotes Upgradeable
  Decide now or later if you would like a bit more remote start activation range. Plug-in upgrade any time during or after installation (not included, sold separately).
   
• No Horn Beep Confirmation (Silent Activation) Option
  This feature is only available with the additional purchase of either one of the remote kit upgrades offered during checkout.

  If the vehicle's brake pedal is stepped on before the ignition is turned on, the remote starter will immediately shut down.
