Ford remote start and security perimeter module -- anyone try?

I haven't, but if you just want remote start, Start-X works great and uses your existing key fob. Hit LOCK>UNLOCK>LOCK to start.

Not to mention a whole lot cheaper.. got mine for $99

Ozarkbeard, I just bought the Start-X for my 2023 Maverick Hybrid XL. I bought it from Ebay but it didn't come with installation instructions. Do you still have your copy? Or do you know where I can get a downloaded instruction? I went to Start-X website and it will not accept an email correspondence with the order number. My Ebay buy was second -hand. Ron

It is very easy, just google start x install and you will get a lost of you tube videos.. I recall it only has three wires to connect.. You did get the t harness with yours, i hope..

Ozarkbeard, I have a '23 Maverick XL Hybrid. I have one harness with the primary connecting between the OBD port along with another 'T' wire that split into two wires. One has a black connector end and the other has a white connector end which I believe plugs into your Start-X remote box. I understand after hooking up the main harness, you press the reset button, then hook up the black connector to the box and wait for a blue light, then hook up the white connector. Next step is to try the lock, unlock, lock and see if it works before using zip ties and putting everything back together. During this procedure, am I to have the ignition in the 'ON' position? There are no Start-X instructions either on Youtube or Google for the 22-24 Ford Maverick. Ron

I found it doing the web search. Not sure why you can't. Doesn't matter what year your your truck is.

Ozarkbeard, I've been to the website, Start-X. The video shows two vehicles, A Ford F-250 and a Ford Explorer. No Maverick listed in instructions or video. It almost seems if Start-X has made sure no videos are available. You can fill out a form with name, email, phone, address, etc. but they want the order # also. I don't have a order #. I got mine as a gift. Ron

It works for me. I mainly bought it for the alarm. Was able to install it at home. The hard part was having to mount it hidden but still accessible. Didn’t want to mount it where the airbags were.

Sorry, a noob question. Where and how do you adjust the sensitivity of the perimeter alarm. My Maverick's supposed to have it installed, but it has never been triggered, even by trying to open locked doors.
