WillM Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I just bought a 2018 Titanium but it didnt come with Remote Start. Any suggestion on installing a system that will work with the OEM fob? Also like many others here, only came with One Fob and no 5 digit factory code.

dabangsta Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Actually a lot to unpack in that one small post. It is possible to add the OEM remote start to your vehicle. It is documented here: It is a little more complex (well, expensive) for you with only one fob. I don't know the best way to proceed since you need 2 new fobs (with the remote start button and the different frequency) but you can't program them yourself since it requires 2 existing ones. Having 2 fobs makes getting the securcode keypad code easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillM Posted September 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 Thank you for the reply. About the fob, I was able to get the second one programmed by a local locksmith. It was very quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Hopefully it is programmed as a new fob and not a clone, but you can now follow the process to get the securecode door keypad code hopefully (the process is on pages 64/65 in your manual), basically you put the key in the emergency slot in the center console and while not pressing the brake press the start button, a few second later press it again and swap to the second key and press start again, and it will show in the cluster. Any errors like a door open may make it not show (so make sure all the doors are closed). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillM Posted September 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 I tried it and to your point, I had the door open so it didnt show any code. I checked the menu under “Keys” and it is showing 3 Admin keys but I only have two. Im assuming the dealer or the previous owner has/had the other. I will try again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Or it was lost or (not saying this is your situation) some buy here, pay here high interest rate sketchy dealers will hold on to one (and also possibly add a GPS tracker). My 2019 had one key when I looked at it on the lot (a Ford dealership in a small town 50 miles from major population centers, with the "no city sales tax" perk that is only 1%...). The sale was contingent on the vehicle coming with 2 fobs, and 2 cut emergency keys in the fobs. I also requested that they reset it to only have the 2 that it came with, but they didn't do that, so it has 4 admin keys, which is the max, and there is no DIY way to remove any. If (and I do) want to add a third one (start out with MyKey for my new driver) The dealer charges at least 2 hours labor, so almost $300 to get all keys removed, and the 2 I have added back. I wish I would have paid better attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillM Posted September 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 I think mine has a GPS tracker connected to the OBD but I dont know how to activate it. I wrote to Ikon technologies and they have not responded. About the factory code, I did it yesterday and it worked. I did it quicker and with the doors closed. Thanks for the tip.
