Remote start?

Hello everyone glad to be back on here. I’m wanting to get a little fancy with my ford and add a remote start. I think it will be a real unexpected eye catcher. My truck is a 95 f150 xlt 2wd. It was 5.0 but I swapped it with a 5.8 but still have all the original 5.0 wiring and ecu hook in. It has power windows and locks. I also looked behind dash, beside the lower right side of the steering column for a factory keyless entry module and there wasn’t one. There might be in the flare side I have out back if it matters but I want to mainly focus on the remote start. Has anyone one here done this exact thing?

Remote start would have been an aftermarket add on. Maybe you can find a company that still makes a kit.

Thanks for responding so quickly but that’s why I’m on here to see what aftermarket remote start people have used and maybe some tips on installing

Pro tip-- Take truck to a professional and pay them to do it. There are many electronic parts and systems on that truck that will not be happy with even the first application of excess voltage.

That is not how I took your original post. To me, it sounded like you were looking for the OEM keyless entry module and wondering how to turn on the remote start feature which never existed. Good luck in your quest.
