I have a Viper on mine and my son had a Clifford on his and both worked flawlessly.

awesome! Thanks, i think i am going to get one. Do yall think that this one would be alright? It is a cheaper one but it seams like it would still work good. Or do you think I should get a nicer one?

I got one from eBay and it was 45$ shipped I think.
It was remote start with keyless entry, AND a power door lock kit for my non power lock doors.
While the 500' range isn't much, the truck is started by the tIme I get there.
I'd lOok for one with more range. It's well worth it in the end.

If you go with one of the units under the DEI umbrella most have a 1 mile range on them. Of you go with a unit like the Viper 5901, 5902 or 5904 then you can add the smartstart box as an add on and have worlwide range over your smart phone. Just a thought. I purchased the 5901 but have not installed it yet. I have not decided if I want to wait to get the smartstart module or not. They average in the $200 range on ebay but you can buy them at places like Bestbuy installed for around $500.

Compustar. Works great,440$ installed with lifetime free main and if I want it on another vehicle they switch it over free. Probably just for the store I went to,but worth checking into. It will start where ever,not sure of the range,but its one of the better ones. They start at 350$ here.

Do you need your FORD OEM Keyless entry remote to program the remote starter to work with your power door locks? I bought my truck used and it did not come with the remote's. Instead of paying Ford $100 to get new ones I'd rather spend more and get a remote starter/alarm in the deal, but want to make sure I don't need the OEM remote first.

I was lucky with mine, I was an Operations Manager at Circuit City and got mine on the employee discount offer through DEI. Got a screaming deal on the install too
