2011-2016 Ford F250 Super Duty Factory Remote Start Installation No Dealer Required 

Excellent video! Well done!! One tip for those with a 2016 Super Duty, the TPMS module is in the headliner behind the overhead console, not behind the glove box. You'll need to remove the drivers side visor, overhead console and grab handle to pull the liner down enough to access it. The antenna then gets 2 side taped to the headliner. Everything else in the video worked the same and same parts. Thanks!

I bought my 2016 F250 and it came with only one key. my local Ford dealer quoted me $300 for just a new programmed key. Thanks for the vid

Just finished this on my brother-in-law’s ‘12 6.7......quick and easy and JUST like OEM !

Oh and I had already bought the non ford key kit before I found your video. I guess time will tell on the quality of internal guts of the key. Thanks again! took less than 5 minutes for whole process.

Thanks you for the videos! I just programmed my new keys last week and my remote start today using Forscan. 2015 F550 6.7L works just like yours did. And yes since mine is a diesel it cycles the wait to start and then starts.

Just finished mine up today! You did a great job with this video, and took some fear out of the FORScan procedures. Only glitch I ran into was the 2016 putting the TPM module above the headliner instead of behind the glovebox. Appreciate you taking the time to put these videos together! Off to my next project...the cluster swap.

Oh My god, you sir a re a god send. I have a 2015 F350 as my work truck and i live in ND, and morning were quite cold, So i got an after market kit to install on my truck and that did not work because I did not have a second key for the truck, So the key i had made for the truck had the remote start button on it, and after the aftermarket kit still did not work i found your video looking for a different kit, and it works like a charm! I am going to get the antenna kit and an actual Ford Factory key here soon! thank you so much for your video!

I called my dealership and they charge $75 to hook up to the vehicle. I just purchased the OBD2 adapter and paid for the Forscan license. I had to erase the old keys and re program the new ones. I only got 1 key with the truck. Everything worked as you said it would on my 2011 F250 XL 6.2 flex. Thank you very much! Ill use the Forscan in the future for my collection of Fords lol

Thanks! Bought a Ford Key and an antenna on eBay, had it programmed at the dealer for a cheap OEM remote starter for my 2011 6.7 F250 ! Works Great! 👌👍

Thanks man just did this to my 2015 Ford F-250 6.7 diesel XL and the forscan program worked perfect

Thanks, just ordered the kit for my 16 F350.

This guy knows his stuff! Worked perfectly on my 2012 F350 6.7! Thank you!!

Even though I don’t have a Super Duty ( I have a Ranger) I have really enjoyed this series.

This worked great, my 2016 F-250 had the TPMS moved up above the headliner so I didn't need the antenna.

I did this about three years ago on my 2016 F250. Had to hunt down the TPMS. Mine was in the headliner over the drivers side towards the front of the truck. A little more work but still a pretty easy "plug and play" install.

This worked great for me. OEM remote start for less than an aftermarket one.

Perfect. This saved me from having to go to the dealer. What else can be activated in the dash that a 2016 XLT may have hiding in there? Got my key cut at Ace for $3.50 and had the kids scared because it was “one of those expensive chip keys” but it was fine.

THANK YOU! I ordered from the link and everything was set up exactly like you said. Works perfect!! Thank you again

dude, I just did this to my 2014 F250 and it worked perfectly. My buttons didn't work at first, but I did the 8 turning key procedure before doing the Forscan stuff. 1.Close all doors, then open drivers door and press the Unlock button on driver’s door while it is open, insert key into ignition. 2.Turn ignition from OFF to RUN 8 times within 8 seconds, with the 8th time ending in RUN. Door locks will cycle to confirm programming mode. (if the door locks do not cycle, then it was done incorrectly. You must start over by removing key and beginning from step 1) (Off is the position where you can remove your key, RUN is the position just shy of starting your car.) 3.Within 10 seconds press any button on the first keyless remote to be programmed. Door locks will cycle to confirm programming. If you only have one remote then skip to step 5. 4.Within 10 seconds, press any button on the second keyless remote. Door locks will cycle again to confirm programming. Repeat step 4. for all other remotes. 5.Turn ignition to OFF. Locks will again cycle to indicate end of programming mode. and it worked perfectly. Thank you!

Sweet another option to add to my 2015 F-250! and subbed! EDIT: used the part number to find a good deal on Ebay from a Ford parts house

Worked on my 2015 F350 diesel XL Thanks for sharing this.

I was going to out smart ford and buy a knock off key..... what a nightmare... long & short I bought strattech key and blammo remote start 79.00 including antenna... forscan is the best

Awesome info I did not even know now!!! I have to do this to my 2012 F-350 power stroke

In reading some of your replies, you mentioned that, not all the things you need to do with the Forscan can be done from a phone and need a laptop to do them. If using a laptop do you have to use a wired adapter or will a wifi/bluetooth one work? Great video, and seems easy enough to do to a 2016 f350

I have always set head lights on highbeam level and straight.i like the look of the day time runnig lights.

Awesome video and links, super helpful in adding this to my 2013 f-250

Go to Amazon it's cheaper getting the antenna and the key fobs also..

I just watched another video and the poster said to change the FORScan code from 0047 to 0148 ... but you said from 0047 to 0147 just curious why the difference and yet BOTH appear to work ( at least in the video )

I only have 1 factory key. If I have a 2nd key made for me and programmed by a locksmith that has the remote start button on it, will that be all I need? Or do I need a 3rd key?

Excellent info. Thanks!!!

So i have 2 original keys & the Lock / Unlock / Remote Start does not work on those. Which is why i purchased a new key & had cut & programmed. But how can i program the FOB to work Doors. Please help. None of these work.

I have a 2012 Ford F-250 that came with only one key and I got the same kit that you have that comes with one remote start key. How do I program that one key with the only one I have that came with the truck. Thanks

Got up to the point of programming the new key however it only starts the truck but doesn't lock/unlock doors. Any help what could be wrong and how to fix?

Need help! I have a 2012 Ford F-250 6.7 Powerstroke XLT. My truck already has the antenna (behind glove box like yours), the hood sensor, and the remote start is turned on in ForScan. Instead of buying Ford keys i bought the amazon special keys that had the best reviews (many reviews say their remote start works). Using ForScan, I programmed the keys, and all the buttons work great, except for the remote start button. My truck already has aftermarket remote start, but in order for it to work I have to carry around an extra smaller fob (it has ford logo on it, seems like it could be dealer installed, it also has an antenna mounted at the top if the windshield near the headliner inside the truck). The fob is annoying to carry around, so I'm trying to slim up my keys by adding remote start this way. I can't get the button to work! Need any advice you can give

Have a f250 XL, is that duration menu still available on the more basic cluster?

👍NICE Job Thank you for the installation great job on the video good info

So, apparently FORscan requires you to buy the extended version to enter the as built bodyCM page. Every time I try to enter it, it pops up that message that extended version is required.

Great video can you bypass the hood switch by unplugging it and will the remote starter still work

Thank you for taking the time in doing this video! I just did the installation and the remote start feature worked great on my 2012 f250 xl. I have the non color basic display. If I change the coding for that, can I adjust the remote start time? Or do I need the fancy display? Thank you

Great video!!!

Worked like a charm thanks.

It seems pretty easy but I don't have a computer that I could plug up into the system on the truck. My question is will it work for a 2010 Ford Expedition XLT? I've tried to turn the key to get it to recognize I've done both keys but no can do. Could you tell me how I can do that before it gets too cold for me to go outside and trying to start it because I'm in the midwest in Illinois and it will get freezing outside and I don't want to freeze trying to get outside to get to the vehicle to get it started to make sure it starts. I appreciate your help.

Has anyone done this on a 2014 F350? Same procedures as outlined in this video? Thanks!

I enabled the remote start with forescan in my 2016 f250 xlt. I don’t see the political or the tpm in my truck.

Great video. I have parts on order. Can you tell us what address spaces mean what? I got the 0 to 1 to make it start, but what display choices do they have. Thanks. Oil life remaining.

I got an antenna + 2 key kit off of Amazon similar to what you've got in the video. Got the keys cut at a locksmith for $5/key, and got them programmed via FORScan. I only had 1 working key from the dealership, so I programmed both new keys using FORScan. Both keys will now manually lock/unlock the driver's door and crank the engine BUT none of the 4 buttons on either key work (can't remotely lock/unlock doors, can't turn the alarm on/off, and can't remotely start the vehicle). I tried changing out the CR2032 batteries in them, but no luck getting any of the buttons to work after that either. They're working PHYSICAL backup keys...but I really got this kit to have the remote start feature. These were not Ford OEM keys. Does this seem like a problem with the electronics of the key, or did I do something wrong programming them?? Really helpful video as far as the FORScan stuff too.

When you enable remote start and suggest changing the "1" in 0047, why is the new number 0148?? Did you change the "7" to an 8 also? Thanks so much for this, just got a new to me 2015 F250 and love this video!

I have a 2012 f350 XL with manual locks and my keys have no controls on them. I assume I can't add remote start. Is that correct?

Worked perfectly!!! thanks

I have fast blinking on my turn signals I got led bulbs with no resistors I heard dealer could fix by computer don’t want to take to dealer can I fix with forscan?

Hi thanks for the awesome video can you please send me a link for the remote start key and how I know which the correct key for my truck ? I have 2012 Ford F-350 Do u think I should buy the kit from the dealership or online?

You said you need factory keyless entry but you don't even have that. Do you mean power locks with remote fob? I bought my kit and realized i don't have door keypad (keyless entry) but... you don't either. Please let me know!

Question: Does the same way to open a 2010 XLT 4×4 Ford Expedition work to start as a 2011 Truck?

Ok here we go. I have added the antenna to the TPMS. I have found line 726 19 01 in the BCM (as built). The line has been changed from 0047 0148. I have also found and made adjustments in my IPC module. I now have the feature for Remote Start ON/OFF in the cluster menu. Problem is I cant get my key to program. I have used the 2 key method in the Owners Manual (On/Off 1st key etc, etc.) I have also tried to program igniton key with Forscan in the PATS menu and it just tells me Key Not Read or Ignition Fault. Any Ideas? And for what its worth Im working on a 2011 F250 4x4 6.2L Super Duty...

Old video I know, but do I need to upgrade the cluster to have the color screen for this to function?

Will this work for the XL trim for a 6.2 gasser? No power locks, windows, or anything.

hey man great video can u send me a link to the ford programmer i have a2016 ford f250 xl super duty gas 6.2 thanks

So followed this exact for my 2011 xl 250 and upon using the key for the remote start I get nothing. When pushing button for the 3rd consecutive time the horn honks but the vehicle doesn’t start.

Since with FORscan you can enable the truck to accept the command to remote start. Is there a way to enable the truck to accept the same remote start command from the key while the truck is running, then remove the key and leave the truck running without it shutting off until whichever user selected timed duration it is set at runs out?

I have a 2014 explorer will this same method work? Where do I get the OBD plug?

How do you program the key through forscan if you only have one factory key?

Thank you.

Thanks

My Dealership just told me that they cannot activate remote start if they didnt sell me all the products. Also that the activation will void all old keys and I will only be able to use the remote key from here on out. Would have done it myself but I didnt have the usb connector for the computer/truck interface. gonna buy one now and not go back to that dealer.

When you have Factory Remote Start, What do you do with the key? Put it in the ignition or let it be?

Bought the kit. Installed with no issues. Programmed like you. It goes through all the motions but the locks and start still don't work. The only difference is that my kit has after market keys. IS that the problem?

Will this work with only 1 key down twice? Only got 1 key from the dealer and i wanted to program the new key with auto start

will this work on a 2012 explorer?

2015 explorer has the same TPMS module. It is located in the back of the center console. I used forscan to activate the remote start. All works but the range is not great. Do you think the same antenna can be used? That antenna wire in the kit seems too short to be able to drag it from the bottom of the console. That antenna part number BC3Z19G364A doesn’t mention explorer.

Where can you get the under the hood plunger?, my 2015 doesn’t have one., thx

Where do I buy the antenna that goes behind the glove box?? I have a 2011 diesel w 6.7

How about the 2011 to 2015 explorer xlt can it be installed too. I heard it can

Is this part number specific to diesel vs gas engines? I have a 2012 diesel. Thanks!

I have a new 2019 ford escape s an I have the same key fob...

is there a limit to how many keys can be added? the first one coded and works fine but the second one seems to take but doesn't work the locks or remote start. Also, your instructions are great! One issue I am having (not sure you can help), after I activate the remote start with FORscan, I cycle the key, step out as you do and test. It works but when I un hook the OBD and try it doesn't work. Any clues???

I run a mini max tuner plugged into the OBD port. Any chance the dealer will screw something up unplugging the tuner and reflashing the BCM? In theory it shouldn't effect the ECM at all, but I'm worried about some of these dealer techs

Is it normal after all this is done and the truck starts for nothing inside the truck to power up until you turn the key on? Reason I ask is I just did this to my 2012 F-350 XL and it doesn't power up anything inside, including the radio, instrument cluster, or HVAC controls. So I cannot set the heater on or the AC on in the summer to pre-heat or cool the vehicle. Kind of defeats the purpose of the remote start if you can't have the heater or AC working while in remote start mode. Just wondering if your truck does the same thing. Thanks for the video! Was very helpful for enabling the remote start.

I have 2012 F350. Came stock with the remote starter. I just want a new key. If I have a key Cut and program the new key with the two original keys. Will the remote start operate on the new key? Or would I still need the forscan?

The first key you put in the egnition, is it one to be programmed or your original truck key?

How can i find an explanation regarding the code for ford 6.7 using foscan?

As far as changing the cluster menu. Is it the same if it’s the lower end cluster? Is it still a B?

Wanting to do this to my 16 but i only have one factory key can you still program a new remote key

So I lost my key and found it on the road and as I was gonna get it a vehicle drove over my damn keys and it smashed my only key. The fob itself is crushed and the chip in the fob is a complete lost. The truck will turn on but won’t start. What am I looking at money wise?

How did you program the up-graded speedo cluster ? I can't get mine to work without flashing on and off . I do have a ids programmer

What if I lost one of my factory keys??

50 bucks no way, dealerships are 260 a hour one hour minimum in California. So expect minum 100 bucks to reprogram keys

Is your truck an XL or XLT? I just a 16’ 250 XL power windows and locks keyless entry. May add the remote start. But was curious how you have the different display in the center of your instrument cluster. Mine is more basic

I installed the unit and ran into a couple of issues. First, the remote entry and panic alarm does not work on the new keys, and second when I went to my local Ford dealership they told me based on my VIN I needed to add a security system for the remote to work. What do you think regarding both issues? Just noticed an error message "INTKEY could not program".

Will it work with ford fusion 2016 the same way ??

Thanks for the video but for some reason, it will not work for me. Keys are programmed, I changed the code. I will check the hood sensor to make sure it works tomorrow. I have a 2012 F250 XL.

Can you set the remote start without the cluster and extended license? I've tried it with Forscan but it stops me with out a license

Thanks!

Did u put that cluster in the truck or did it come with it

How/When do you program the 2nd new key?

Can you help me remot start a 2022 king ranch?

So I have a 2016 f250 and I found that my tpms module is not there but thanks to a previous poster I found it above the headliner on the driver side. But I don't have an entry in bodycm for 126-19-01. I was able to enable the menu and it shows the remote start enabled. Anyone seen this? Is it different for 2016? BTW, thanks Ford for moving that. :)

What if I only have 1 original key? How could I program other keys

I have a 2015 XL but I don't have the hood switch. I don't have an issues getting one bit what is it for/do? Also do you know how difficult it would be to install factory fog lights and switch? Thanks and great video. I didn't even know this was an option. I was going to go for an after market remote start.

How long did it take for Forscan to get back to you with the extended license? What is it another program or how did that work?

Will this work with a 6.7 PowerStroke
