Thanks bighap
The Start-X Remote Starter Kit for Maverick work great on my 2024 2.0L, but the OBD-2 is not the same on my 2025 XLT 2.5L HYBRID.

Are you using it on your 2023 Lariat HYBRID?

I can confirm that this Ford Perimeter Plus does work with the 2025 Maverick. I installed it this afternoon and enabled it using Forscan software on my windows laptop. Super easy to install. I used fordpass points to order and only paid around $17 in tax and shipping. Well worth it and now I can remote start using my factory key fob by pressing lock, unlock and lock quickly. Pressing the same combo again while it's remote started turns the truck off. https://www.ford.com/product/vehicle-security-system-ford-perimeter-plus-p2933105493

Yes. I am using it on my 23. I resorted to one of these when my truck was always sleeping and I wanted to remote start last winter. I have since resolved the sleep issue but still prefer using my fob if I'm in range.

One summer, I was teaching a class at UofA and as I walked to my car one afternoon, I thought to myself "wow, it's pleasantly not sweltering today." Got in the car and the radio informed me that it was currently 96F on campus.

THAT'S how hot Tucson is. 96 felt like RELIEF.

4 weeks over 100, actual temp. Tucson. Love the remote start.
