There are many who have done it on this forum and other forums. I would suggest do a search on the 6.7 forum here for remote start and FORScan to turn on remote start in the BCM. You can find the basic remote start kit on eBay from various Ford dealers that include one or two keys.

I purchased an auto start off of ebay from fairway ford. It was plug and play and included a single button remote with a 1000 foot range, which is better then the key fob, and a perimeter alarm that added to the factory alarm. The only thing you have to do is have a dealer program the BCM to accept the alarm and it acts like it was factory installed. Mine will actually turn on my vents when the temperature is under 32 degrees. total cost was $225, $125 for the alarm and $100 for the dealer to program the BCM.

BTW, if you want to find some cheaper bi-directional fobs for your remote start, most do not have panic button, you can search eBay for the FCC ID ELVATRKC.

Master, his truck is an XL. He does not have basic remote start. He has to add the RF antenna and hood switch before he can add long distance remote start. See the above photo of the Super Duty requirements in the small letters.
Super Duty - May need hood switch BC3Z-19G366-A and/or
RFR antenna kit DA8Z-15603-A if not equipped
Super Duty - May need hood switch BC3Z-19G366-A and/or

I did read that, and like I stated, the kit I purchased had everything included. Sorry I didn't list the good switch with it. The auto start uses a speedster antenna which you attach to the windshield.

Don't think you are going to get new keys. The "factory" remote starter Ford sells to dealers to install comes with SEPARATE fobs that you will have to carry around in ADDITION to your existing key. It is a small fob with just the remote start button on it.

The separate FOB deal is the long-range option, the "Perimeter Plus" chart that Larry posted.

Will the remote kit work on my manual equipment group XL truck? I installed the fog light kit that came with the new BCM, but I ended up not needing the BCM and the dealer is refunding me the money for it. They got in touch with a ford engineer and was told that some manually equipped '16 trucks got BCM's capable of running fog lights. Do you think my BCM would run remote start as well?

This is the procedure as described in the installation instructions for remote start.

If your truck has manual locks and/or did not come equipped with remote key, then you cannot use the Ford remote start kits. There is no upgrade to make it compatible either. At that point you would have to go with an aftermarket remote start kit and wire it in.

You will most likely need the Vehicle Security Kit to add the remote start kit.

My 2013 Platinum came with a remote start. After taking a shot in a parking lot I went with the Perimeter Alert system. Perimeter Alert will cost you $50.00 a year on top of purchase price and installation. You do get an app for your phone that locks, unlocks, locates and starts the truck, it does not have a range like the keys do. As others have said, I do believe you need the hood open sensor and power door locks. Purchase and install ain't cheap but works great, someone messes with your truck and you get a txt message. It's pretty quick, I did manage to snag 1 woman who clipped my rear bumper pulling out of a parking spot.
