BDHG940 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I have a remote start kit and curious if anyone knows how or will install the kit for me. How much and when Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 also is this what Im going to need so it will work since it normally requires the key with a chip in order to start? Does this program itself so I didnt have to install a spare key in the car? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Immobilizer-Bypass-for-Remote-Start-NEW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem53deaebdfcQQitemZ360218279420QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 just wire it up..whats the worst that can happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1647545493 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 The bypass I used in my 2000 GT was a plastic box that you put a programmed key into the a wire loop goes around the ignition switch. I never had any luck with the active bypass modules. The install is a piece of cake. If you can make turbo kits and install them you can certainly install a remote start.

You will need two learn it in to the pats system which you can do with two preprogrammed Ford keys. We do several hundred remote starts a year and never put a key in the box, there is no need to. If you use good products, you dont have to take shortcuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through 3 different DEI 555's before I said fuck it and bought the key box. All 3 DEI 555's were DOA. The key in the box has worked flawlessly for 4 years now. I also cut off the key part before putting the top half in the box. I don't consider what I did to be a shortcut. If I would have started with the key in the box I would have been done with the install about 8 days sooner. Also I've installed my share of alarms and starters. I've been installing them since 1989.

Probably should have reworded that. It wasnt meant to be a jab nor was I saying you dont know what you are doing as I am sure you do by some of your other posts. As far as shop standpoint, a key in the box is a cost savings for the shop as well as the customer at the expense of convenience. And if you are going to do it that way cutting the key is a smart move for security purposes. We dont use the 555 or the key in the box on that vehicle or any other. We use the pkfm which wires in to the pats tx/rx wires. They are very reliabel. It is very rare to get one that does not work, and the customer does not have to lose a key. Most customers would rather keep their spare key and there is really no reason they cant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1647545493 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Thanks for clarifying. I wasn't sure if it was a jab or not.. we are on CR.. lol Thanks for posting the part you use. I'll try one for the next install I do which will probably be Beer30's Focus. I used a lot of DEI products back in the 90's and always had decent luck with their stuff. I was shocked when I got 3 DOA's from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do so many, we typically know what works, what doesnt, what saves time, etc, etc....On that car PKFM is the bomb. A little more expensive but you dont have to lose a key. Let me know when you go to do the Focus. A 556SW is more than likely what you would want to use for it. It is basically a 556uw with an uncut Ford key already in the box. I can get you a good deal on one as well. Wires in just like the key in the box. Simple and done. Sorry back on topic, PKFM is what I would recommend here as well for your car Chad.

BDHG940 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Sure I can install it, Im too busy and would rather devote my time to other things where I can be more productive. Brady, I have had a remote start kit sitting here just forever that I bought from a friend. Can you pm me a price for installing it and whatever module you normally go with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
