Remote Start Installation Overview

• Complete Plug-in Installation: No wire cutting or splicing. 3 T-harness connections to your vehicle are all that's required to install this system into a 2011 to 2015 Ford Explorer with key ignitions. 2 on the steering column under the steering column covers and 1 below the driver's dash at the vehicle's OBD2 connector below the driver's dash. 
   
• No OBD2 Diagnostic Plug Interference: Fortin's design uses a T-harness, keeping your vehicle's OBD2 port in its original state, accessible for any diagnostic service. No need to unplug the remote starter system every time you need to use the vehicle's OBD2 port.
   
• In-Vehicle Programming: Just 2 keys to your vehicle are all that's required to program this system to your vehicle. No special dealer programmers, computers, or downloads are involved. Go straight from delivery to your vehicle for installation.
   

► TECH-TIP PRECAUTION: Cannot use "CLONED" keys for programming the system to your vehicle. Cloned keys are replacement keys that did not require programming to your vehicle during purchase; access to your vehicle was not required to make the new key work. This restriction applies to any brand or model of remote starter system that requires 2 keys for programming.
 

• Vehicle-Specific Factory Fit T-Harness: No wires or extra plugs to sort through that are left over and not used, meant for other Ford vehicles. This provides an easier-to-understand installation and a cleaner, more professional-looking install when finished. The plugs on the provided T-harness have just the connections you use for your specific vehicle, nothing else.
   
• Vehicle-Specific Step-by-Step Installation Guide: A clear & concise illustrated step-by-step installation guide that will walk you through every step of the installation. Written by professional installers for the DIY installer.
