jim wrench;

I took a look at the brain box under the dash and it says right on it that its just a vehicle alarm and wireless entry......guess I should've clued in from the start it wasn't the remote start

Does anyone have a ball park figure of how much it would be to get ford to install one? I know there's aftermarket systems out there but if I'm understanding correctly from what I've been reading, to add a remote start they just have to change the brain box to one that has it, correct? I figure if its just a matter of swapping brains out I'd rather just have the ford factory system as opposed to a generic aftermarket system being installed from scratch. Any advice, recommendations, directions?

Thanks guys

 

Hey 99
I have a 04 F250 PSD 6.0 4X4 King Ranch with factory alarm and remote start. My keyless entry is a 3 button while my remote start and alarm is a 4 button fob. The safety device on mine is a level switch (not pressure) mounted on the drivers side under the hood.
To remote start mine I hold the blue key button down until the lights flash and it chirps once. About 15 seconds later Bingo! I had to go to a Ford dealership for help. My factory instructions said differently also but this is how mine is programmed.

Mine has a LED on the dash and an antenna looking thing just above the rear view mirror.
Also mine has a siren and raises all kinds of @#(*%^ when alarm is tripped.
Hope this helps.
