Ford C-Max Remote Start Features:

  • Ford Factory Remote Keyless Entry Activation: You can activate this system only 1 of 2 ways, either by pressing LOCK 3 times on your keyless entry remote (with horn beep) OR by pressing the LOCK/UNLOCK/LOCK sequence (without horn beep). Choice of activation preference provided during checkout. Settings cannot be changed after installation.
     
  • Automatic Heat/Defrost/AC Activation: Just leave your climate control settings on where you need them when parking the vehicle, and the system will automatically turn them on shortly after you activate the remote starter.
     
  • 15-Minute Remote Start Run Time: The system will automatically shut down after 15 minutes.
     
  • Active Key-Takeover: The engine will not shut down when the driver's door is opened. After you enter the vehicle and put the key into the ignition and turn the ignition on, when you step on the brake to shift into gear, the remote starter automatically turns off, but the vehicle will remain running normally with the key (so you won't have to restart the vehicle everytime after you remote start it.)
     
  • Active Remote Shut-Down: You can shut down the remote starter sooner the same way you activated it.

Ford C-Max Remote Start Installation Overview:

  • All Plug-In Installation: No wire cutting or splicing. 3 plug-in T-harness connections to the vehicle are required to install this system into a 2013 to 2018 Ford C-Max with remote keyless entry. 2 of the plugs are found on the left and right sides of the steering column under the steering column covers and 1 using the vehicle's OBD2 connector (see example photos below.)
     
  • No OBD2 Diagnostic Plug Interference: Unlike some systems that plug straight into your diagnostic port, this design uses a T-harness, keeping your vehicle's OBD2 port accessible for any diagnostic service. No need to unplug the remote starter system every time you need to use the vehicle's OBD2 port. You just remove the vehicle's OBD2 plug and plug it into the T-harness, then replace the plug with the identical OBD2 connector from the T-harness.

In-Vehicle Programming:

  • No special dealer programming, computers, or downloads are involved. Just 2 keys to your vehicle are all that's required to program this system to your vehicle.

    2 KEY PROGRAMMING PRECAUTION: Cannot use "CLONED" keys for system programming: Cloned keys are replacement keys that did not require programming to your vehicle during purchase; all they did was "cut" the key; access to your vehicle was not required to make the new key. This restriction applies to any brand or model of remote starter system for the 2013 to 2018 Ford C-Max.

     
  • 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.
     
  • Installation Video Demos: Can be viewed on our YouTube channel: Ford F-150 Remote Start Installation YouTube Video Link
     

Remote Start Security & Safety Features:

  • Brake Pedal Monitoring for Security: The steering column remains locked, and if you step on the brake pedal before the ignition is turned on with a key, the remote starter will immediately shut down.
     
  • Remote Start Inhibit On-Off Toggle Switch: A small mini toggle switch that's mounted under the driver's side dash through a pre-drilled 1/4" hole (optional) that, when placed in the ON position, will prevent the vehicle from being remote started.
     
  • Open-Hood Monitoring for Safety: The remote starter cannot be activated when the hood is open, and it would shut down if the hood was opened while the vehicle was running by the remote starter (the vehicle must be equipped with a factory-installed or aftermarket hood-pin switch for this feature to work).
     

2-Year "Red-Carpet" Warranty | Unlimited Support:
  • 2-Year QC Warranty: Though it's highly unlikely you would ever need warranty service for one of our systems, and we are so sure of it that in the rare event that it happens, once one of our techs determines the problem, we will send you out the replacement within 72 hours with a prepaid return shipping package for the part we are replacing, at no expense to you; all your shipping costs are covered under your warranty. Warranty begins from the date of delivery.
     
  • Unlimited 24/7 access to customer support is available by phone, email, online live chat, our YouTube channel, and after-hours call-back answering service, 7 days a week. Closed only on major holidays.
     
  • 45-Day QC Money-Back Guarantee: With proven quality & performance with tens of thousands of systems installed into vehicles seen on the road today, if you’re not totally satisfied with the quality or performance of your system after installation, just unplug the system from your vehicle, put everything back in the box, and just send us an email or give us a call, and one of our technicians will email you a prepaid return shipping label with an RMA# for a full refund with no restocking fees, at no cost to you. Believe it or not, the only time we really get a return is for 1 of 2 reasons: either they didn't install the system yet and they unexpectedly sold the vehicle, or they totaled it! It's true.
     
  • Nationally Known Brand: Lift the restrictions you have with generic, off-brand, and rebranded systems that limit your options to only one online source. MotorCityAutobahn designs and assembles systems using the automotive aftermarket's industry-leading components. If you do decide to upgrade your system or need a replacement part or remote in the future, not only can they be provided directly through MotorCityAutobahn.com, but you can also find any of the components we provide available all across the USA, from big box consumer electronics stores online and off to most of your local automotive accessories shops.

Long-Range Remotes Upgradeable: (sold separately):
  • Would you like more range than what your factory remotes provide? (the avg. factory remote range is 150' to 300'.) Would you like to be able to activate your remote starter from the checkout counter? No problem. Easily upgrade this system any time during or after installation with Fortin's RFK-411 1-button long-range remote kit. Just plug the antenna into the blue plug on the system's T-harness, then route and stick the antenna to the windshield, program the remotes to the system, and you're done. Boost the system to get up to 2000' (600 meters) of range.
