What's the difference between 1 way and 2 way?

I went with a VIPER 2 way on my truck. As long as I leave the controls set for heat, or a/c, or defrost, the night before, the system starts and the controls work.
The 2 way system that I have has some lights on the left side of the fob, that blinks when start the truck. It just lets you know that the unit worked.

1 way vs 2 way - a 2 way system sends confirmation that the engine started to the fob and the fob beeps/flashes etc so you know the engine started.
HVAC configuration - If it's cold, turns on heat, defroster and heated seats. If it's hot out, turns on AC and cooled seats.
Ford offers 2 plug and play kits that I know of. A 1way kit and a 2way kit. They are designed to be installed after the fact and just plug into existing wiring junctions behind the glove box; no wire cutting or splicing required. You may (and it depends on how the vehicle was programmed at the factory) have to have a ford tech "tell" the vehicle that the remote starter is installed. In 3 vehicles I've put it in, one was ready to go and the other two had to go to my dealer for a 3 minute update (one dealer did it for free, the other lost a customer for life...).

1. Buy kit from the link I posted.
2. Install kit. Takes 30 minutes.
3. Bring it to a Ford dealer who will use IDS to activate it in trucks computer. $50 is what my dealer charged.
4. Enjoy
