Ford Remote Starter installation ?

I have a 2012 SC FX4 with 5.0

Anyone install the ford BC3Z-19G364-A Remote Star System? Any problems and how difficult? Also, my truck has power door locks so what is the 19G366 Remote Start Hood Switch Kit?

Thanks, Byron

Super easy. Takes about 30 minutes. All plug and play. The dealer will activate it for you after you install it. Most dealers charge around $50 to activate it.

Remote start hood switch could already be in it. Mine is on the drivers side. Open the hood and check. Pretty easy to spot.

Derek4343, My local dealer quoted me $218.90 but a fellow ant the office bought his for $189.00 off e-bay. He hopes to install it this weekend. I will post about the install later. Right now we are under blizzard conditions and I have to go plow snow to get out
of my driveway, LOL-)

I hate to ask and sound dumb. But it comes with instructions so I know where to pull plugs.

Hood switch? I dont care if it will start with hood open, does anybody?

The hood switch is an interlock that will not allow it to start when open. This will prevent injury if, say you are working on something under the hood and someone tries to remote start.

As the system needs to be activated by a dealer, I would not think that they would activate the remote start system if the hood switch is not installed. Many trucks without factory remote start (my base STX) already has the hood switch installed.
