Adding remote start fob?

Hey I have a 2020 XLT, I can go thru the app and remote start the truck, but it isn't on my key fob to remote start.

Is this a simple fob upgrade to get the remote start on my fob or more involved??

TIA,
Justin

About a dozen choices on this. Look for the remote start without honk on Ebay. They all work the same, all plug and play and use the factory fob.

Very easy to do - did it myself in less than an hour.

Ford sells a module that is very easy to install. Then you get lock-unlock-lock remote start

The horn honk is the annoying part of that system.

In my 2019 XLT I do not have a horn honk when remote starting. That’s the lock unlock lock. Some other systems use three pushes of the lock button causing the horn to honk.

Why buy that module when you can purchase the OEM 4-button fob module instead?

I paid around $150 for two key fobs (including shipping and cutting) and $50 for the truck module.

$200 and about an hour of my time and I now have the factory 4-button fob remote start. This version also blinks green or red if the start was successful.

Oem module can be found for around $50. Don’t need new fobs unless you want to. The three button fob will work.

Do you have the part number for the module?
