Guys how hard would it be to add remote start to an F450 Lariat diesel? I has everything but i beleive [nav, locks etc...] or was this even an option?

 

What year is the truck?

I'd be surprised if it didn't have remote start with the other options listed. Have you tried the sequence on the key already to confirm it's not there?

 

Its an 08....no i haven't tried it yet as i wont be picking up the truck till next week...

It wasn't listed on the add but as you said it maybe there...?

 

Ahh, ok.

Mine's listed on my window sticker, but it was part of a package (Lariat Ultimate) for my model year. I couldn't find an '08 order guide, but I did find a '09 order guide for the F450's. It looks like the remote start was a limited production offering for late '09, so I suspect yours may not have it now.

If you have the VIN, you could look it up on the links below and see if there's anything indicating that it has is (or even call Ford Customer Service).

[QUOTE=cuda66;13429613]Cool thanks.

I have an 08 F450 lariat. I ordered it from the factory. Remote start was not an option.

 

[QUOTE=DesertRider;13431913]Ok great...thanks.

 

I've an 05 F-350 6.0 and have an after market starter system (Ultimate branding).
Has multiple timer delays for the glow plug.... 30 sec I use in cold Northern NY and 15 sec during the summer months....
Admittedly it takes some reading and comprehension and luck to get the programming down but works good.
Also, my F350 has no block heater and the starter system gives me an option of having it start every so many hours and run for an assortment of times... 7min, 12 min and 3 min...

I've only one complaint..... I triggers the EGR lite if it isn't switched to the warm weather settings and kills the battery in the cold when on the alternate settings.

Do some research...... Diesel, auto~man trans,
Good Luck is obtained by some one reputable doing the install and set up...even if that is YOU!

 

Oh yeah, Truck has "climate control" so the temp in the cab is regulated via comm link while running, works for me in both climates..
