factory remote start
I think I was able to read this in one of the threads but unfortunately can't find it anymore.
Does the factory remote that comes with the 2004 expedition have a remote start feature?
I thinks it's some combinations on the keypad that will allow the truck to start by itself to warm up.

I had the dealer install the "Ford" brand remote start (made by code). It is OK, but I have a strange problem with it. If I unlock the vehicle with either the remote start fob or the factory fob, then start the vehicle with the key, the NAV radio will not power up for about thirty seconds. If I remote start the vehicle, then unlock the doors with the fob, everything works OK.

A friend of mine had the Ford "Gold" system (made by Code Alarm) installed on his '03 F-350 powerstroke. Had a bit of a problem with false alarms apparently triggered by the motion sensor feature of the system. Had to have the "brain" of the system replaced. All is now well.

On the new Expedition for whatever reason there was a 10 second delay for the radio, eatc climate control and some cluster functions to work after startup. On the one I recently installed on an Explorer Sport Track, the ABS light would remain lit during remote start and run, and would go out when the key was inserted and turned to the run position. This does not set an ABS code however. I think this may have to do with the late model clusters that have integrated accessory and battery saver relay. Not sure though. Never had any complain about it, I guess because they arent in the vehicle during the remote startup and warmup.
