If you turn it up all the way be prepare for it to go off when a squirrel farts on roof of your garage. Mine goes off when a vehcile drives by faster then 20kph or when a diesel starts next to it. It's not set at most sensitive either.
My main reference is to GPS as it will be unplugged soon as they get in I would think.

I got mine from eBay and it was 300.00 for everything. I haven't installed it yet but will now. Yearly cost for the service is 60.00 from what I have ready.
I want to know if I can set it up to do WiFi in the truck like the 18's will come with soon. That would be great technology to have in a truck that pulls my TT all the time.

I used the App to set up a text message alert, but it seems with a 'warning' beep from the truck, that I do not receive an alert text. I haven't deliberately set off the alarm yet. Maybe I will try it tomorrow.

I selected text because it's quicker. Usually get an alert within 5 seconds of the alarm going off. My email.... well it depends on the fetch on the iPhone, sometimes it's several minutes before it pulls email.

Roll down the window, lock with your key Fob. Wait 30 seconds, then hit the steering wheel with your hand with medium contact. Should set off the alarm, and a text to follow if the app is configured correctly.

I am having a hard time finding info on this...is this simply the $198 for the access kit, dealer fee to pin it, and $60 annual fee if you only want the start, lock unlock feature? That is all I am looking to do from my cell phone. Also, the part numbers did not seem to work for me on fordparts.com...

FT4Z-19A361-A and DL3Z-19A390-B
You can find them on accessories.ford.com
Also the annual fee is $49, not $60.

Thanks for the info. Only the first part number worked and if went to the security system. The second part number was listed as not available for a 2017 Super Duty...I'll have to make a trip to the dealer to find out the real deal. Has anyone actually installed the second part number only for the cell phone access for the start,lock, unlock. I just don't believe it is just $200, dealer fee and then $49 annually. Earlier in the post it was referenced that additional antennas where needed but unsure if that is for the security or just remote access.

The extra antenna is only for the long range fobs. It is not required for the cell phone remote system.
What is required is the security module. That is the only place for the cell phone remote system to plug into.
If your truck currently does not have remote start on the key, then the remote start system on the truck must be activated (usually requires a trip to a dealer for IDS to turn it on, but some folks have figured it out with Forescan). The cell phone module must also be activated and a PIN generated, but that can only be done by a dealer. A few have had luck getting certain dealers to do this over the phone, since the truck technically doesn't have to be at the dealer to activate remote access.
