I'm considering getting one, but I know of another person w/ a 04 Lariat who has had it for about 2 months and has had a problem with it twice. He said it would try to start and it would think it started because the parking lights, heat, etc. came on, but the engine didn't start. His was a dealer install when the truck was brand new.

If I do get one I'd get the Ford (Code Alarm) version because of warranty coverage.
do u know what the problem was with his remote start i got one in my 2004 FX4 its doing the same thing it tries to turn on dash lights and everything go on but it wont start

I am pretty sure it is the factory anti-theft system transponder sensor that wraps around the inside of the ignition that may be broken. Try putting your factory key next to the ignition while trying to remote start and see if it will start. If so, the sensor needs to be reprogrammed. If not, you need a new sensor.

Ford remote starters

I learned that after three were installed and all three have had some problom or another.I searched into this and found that Ford has interest in the after market brand(Code alarms)and at certain times when I would take in one of the vehicles that particular system was then out dated no longer being offered?In the end I had three differant Code alarms,I currently have the original installed in the second vehicle we had done about 3 years ago.Do your self a favor and google Code alarms you will be suprised!(Audiovoxproducts.com)
