Installed Key Fob Remote Start -- My Favorite Mod Yet for XL / XLT / Lariat

[EONR24]

Hey Everyone,

I recently installed the "Ford Perimeter Plus with Remote Start" kit on my 2024 Ford Maverick XL and it is AWESOME! Here is the Part Number KN1Z-19A361-A. The install was super easy and worked without any coding changes necessary. The remote start from the key fob is much faster and more useful than the Ford Pass App Remote Start! At times, the remote start on the Ford Pass App can take up to 30 seconds, not including getting your phone out and getting the app open. Since the XL and most XLTs don't have push to start or keyless entry, you need to have your keys out and in hand to unlock/lock the Maverick anyways! Now clicking LOCK -> UNLOCK -> LOCK starts the Maverick with my factory key fob in just a few seconds!

THIS SHOULD WORK ON ALL TRIMS AND YEARS OF THE FORD MAVERICK!
Who knows how long the Maverick will be supported on Ford Pass either. 5 years? 10 years? I saw that they are already removing features from vehicles older than 2017 on the FORD PASS APP!

The part you install is simply a small square module the size of a wallet you zip tie near the obd2 port. and the wire harness plugs into the existing obd2 port and replaces the obd2 as well so it is still useable. The kit gives you everything you need to install it and a booklet on the features. I will provide an install video I used below! You can adjust the Perimeter Plus alarm sensitivity manually on the module too. ALSO, this is optional but you can enable this menu via Forscan picture below.

EDIT: Here is the Part number for the Remote Start System ULTRA Long Range Extender Antenna, PART NUMBER JS7Z15603A . This part must be installed by the dealer with a special long distance key fob as mentioned HERE .

I will link the video I used to help me install it here and the original post!. The install is not difficult. Works just like OEM.

You plug two harnesses in and and zip tie that module and it's done. Took me 10 minutes.

Very interested but do you know if this will work on a Hybrid Maverick too?

I am 95% sure it will work for hybrids because there are lariat hybrids with key fob remote start. So I would assume yes it will work but can't confirm for sure.

Just looked and Ford says this is compatible with ALL MY2024s

Do you know the range on the transmitter / fob? Thanks!

Nice. Very interested in the key fob remote start for next winter. Excellent.

I can attest. I added it on the 13th day of owning the truck. Unfortunately on day 8 my window got smashed but oh well.

A few things:

-Be careful where you mount it. Note the under dash airbag directly below the column.
-Opt for the optional LED Security LED (Blinking Dash Light.) I drilled mine directly above the column. Small trim panel right below the cluster that is attached to the pleather hiding the column.
-FordPass alerts you in 5-10 seconds after a trigger. Love it since I work overnight.
-If you get any recall/work that resets the BCM(?) You’ll need to redo learn the Module’s Remote Start Option. Otherwise everything else will work just fine.

its whatever the range is for the factory lock unlock key fob. I believe there is a different version with a signal extender but I think that will only work with the lariat key fob (remote start button key fob) @First Sergeant

Cost?

 

[EONR24]

Cost?

Got mine for just under $200. Some people said there are aftermarket ones for about $100 but I wanted to keep it OEM
