Has anyone installed "plug & play" remote start?

My wife's 2011 Explorer didn't come with remote start and she really wants it.

I found the Ford OEM "plug & play" remote start on a couple places. Found one on ebay that came with two blank keys/keyfobs, and ones on amazon that didn't specify if they came with a key or not.

Just wondering if anyone knows what's involved in making this work? Since it's called plug & play I assume it's not overly difficult to install, but not sure about either getting the keys cut & programmed or what else would need done.
