Don’t like your car wanted stolenCan I leave that huge fob key in the truck and manually lock the door on my way out and then use the push buttons on the door to get back in so I don't have to carry that monstrosity?
How hard is the install?The Ford accessory perimeter alarm system includes remote start.
It is a P-N-P installation, the remote start needs to be enabled in the BCM, but hopefully someone will figure that out in Forscan.
List is $207, Tasca Ford has it for $161.
Cheap way to get an alarm system, remote start and all P-N-P, plus covered under your factory warranty.

Other manufacturers have fobs noticeably larger than this. More luxury equals larger key fobs. Some are north of $1000 to replaceI really dislike Ford keys. They are ridiculously oversized. Is there an actual reason for it, some sort of necessary technology in there? The XL/XLT keys seem more reasonably sized and slimmer.

Unless, of course, where you park is in a cellular dead zone. Those do still exist. Key-fob remote start is only range dependent. I want both, expecting to use the key-fob remote start as a backup.Don't forget, you can remote start any trim level with the Ford App on your phone and the app and service is free.

I'm not 100% sure on the Lariat and Lariat Lux trims, but I do know XLT Lux trim the remote start is an add-on option.Checking on this, did they change the fob for the 2023 Lariat? Parents picked up the order I put in back in January 22, and they got a fob from the dealer with just lock unlock and panic, no remote start button on the fob. It does have the lariat lux package.
