Current Installer Testimonials
 

08-31-2025 "Derek told me when I ordered it it shouldn't take me over 30 minutes; tell him I got it installed in 10! Works great; you guys definitely overdelivered. I wish you had one for my wife's Kia. TC. Michael G. from Goto Motors (Installed our F12-SK system into his 2017 Explorer).
 

08-24-2025 "Jake, here's the one for you to post: I bought a system off of the top of the list I saw on Google. I got the system fast, and everything looked good until I started reading the instructions during the installation. There were parts in there that I wasn't made aware of that I additionally needed to use to install the system. Now I'm not, and I'm asking not to post the company name because it was a decent-looking setup (Jake already guessed who it was anyways); they just misled or left out some important details, but what really got me and had me return it was they said it was a 15 minute install! BS! First I had to go to my computer, create an account with another company that I didn't buy the system from (the actual manufacturer), and then download some software, then plug in this module into my USB port, then plug the remote start brain into that, and then download the program into the module for my vehicle! Now plugging it into my Mustang was the easy 15 minute part; then you have to go through some activation steps and then program it to your vehicle. But it didn't go as indicated in the manual after trying several times. So I contacted the place I bought it from, which was only by email, and all they did was email me back a copy of my installation programming guide! Anyways, whoever's reading this, I ordered one from Jake and just had to plug in 1 plug behind my OBD2 connector, turn the ignition on, and watch for the green led on the module to turn off, turn the ignition off, and I was done! Now I was mad because of what I went through earlier! Jake said it was just because it was a different brand and 1st-generation system and not the newer designs he stocks. So if you're looking for a DIY system for your Ford, be sure to check all the little install details, and if they don't provide them, motorcityautobahn.com does, or you might get what I got that Jake called NOS (new old stock). (Installed our F12-SK system into his 2018 Mustang)
 

07-27-2025: Works awesome!!! Just follow the setup directions that come with the device for easy setup... It works awesome, but if you have an “engine light” on in your vehicle, the starter won’t let the truck start until you clear the engine light; otherwise, the remote start works perfectly every time. (Installed the Directed F12-1K into his 2015 F-150)
 

06-22-2025: "Finally found the time and got the remote starter installed, and it works perfectly; thank you." (Installed the F4-2K system into his 2018 Ford Focus.)
 

05-11-2025: "Jake, fortunately I was still in the return time to send that other system back that blocked my OBD2 plug that I ordered off of eBay. The one you sent was perfect, exactly what I wanted. Except for your system not using up my OBD2 plug, it basically installed the same way, and I think the harnesses you sent are a bit better quality. Thanks for all your help on this. I will call you for my next Ford." (Installed our F4-2K system into a 2018 Ford Focus)
 

04-13-2025: "Priced great, quick shipping, reasonable delivery time, good system, interfaced perfectly with my vehicle, and eliminated the need for me to do any wiring." (Installed our F12-1K remote start system into his 2019 Ford Explorer).


04-12-2025: I'm very pleased with the kit. I have another Ford vehicle I will be ordering remote start for as well; thank you.
(Installed our F4-2K into his 2014 Ford Explorer).
 

04-12-2025: "Can't believe how easy it went in I think it took a whole 5 minutes. It took longer to zip-tie it up!"
(Installed our F12-1K into his 2018 Ford F-150)
 

04-08-2025: "Hey, my friends, I truly can’t thank you enough for going out of your way to help with this system even though I didn't buy it from your company. Thanks, I will try and tackle this project; much gratitude for your help." 


(Bought a Fortin EVO-FORT4 system off of Amazon and didn't know that they don't come vehicle-specific ready and that they need an additional part, downloads, and programming. All we did was tell him what he additionally needed and to order from us next time!)

11-03-2024: "There was a little delay in getting the package at no fault of Motor City. Our local mail system dropped the ball. But MCA was in contact throughout the whole process with update emails. I was very impressed and completely satisfied. I definitely recommend MCA. Easy to install and remote start works great. Thanks again.
