Remote Start
I have two projects for this truck underway, so I start a third as I am holding on the others.
I have a Ford remote start kit - CL3Z-19G364-A. It is described as a plug-and-play. In my business it is also known as a plug-and-pray.
I have an install estimate from a dealer for a day in the shop and $220.
My alternative is a DIY. After some research I cannot seem to find a HOWTO reference. There was no manual with the unit - it is genuine Ford - purchased from Ford. I've been unable to find any references for installation.
Any direction would be appreciated.
Mike

I would think LONG and HARD before diy'ing a ford remote start...
iirc, it took a SEASONED installer
(that said he had done 100's for the ford dealership)
4 hours to do the one in my last excursion...
there were 100's of wires it seemed like !
IMHO, that install money is money well spent !
Better yet, sell that on ebay or craigs;ist and go get a better, cheaper, aftermarket unit installed at best buy or somewhere ...
and get a two way remote so you know when it starts
(my 2 pet peeves with the 2012's factory remote is the 4 bottom combo to start and get in it and not knowing IF it started when it is out of sight)

Good advice I am sure.
This kit has three connectors, all keyed. It has an antenna, the controller and some mounting tape and a couple of fobs. I may be overly confident but it seems the magic is where do it go?
