wlepse Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Looking at buying a 2011 SEL but it doesn't have the factory remote start. From the accesories catalog it appears as if you should be able to add the Ford factory remote start and I saw a posting here where someone had it added to their LTD Edge but I don't know if that applies to the SEL. The dealer is offering to install and aftermarket but I am reluctant since there already seems to be plenty of bugs with the MFT and I don't want to take a chance Ford will blame accesories. The person that had it added to their LTD said it was like 400 bucks and included 2 more keys...can anyone confirm if this is available for the SEL and if it is something you can do on your own?

wlepse Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 OK found some more info from digging around. Seems like there are two options; BC3Z-19G364-A and BT4Z-19G364-A but they will both likely require a hood switch. The first is the one that comes with two keys but the website selling it recommended professional installation. I assume this is due to the immobilizer chip needing to be programed into the ECU but it otherwise plug and play. The second only includes one remote bidirectional keyfob but is supposed to be plug and play. I sent an email to the reseller to see if they have more info on installation. If anyone has experience please chime in. The one with two keys can be had for ~$180 and the other for about 225, even if I have to pay an hour for programming that isn't too bad.

Edge_Beast Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I recently installed the bi-directional on my '11 Sport. All hardware installation was a breeze. Only thing I could not do was activate the remote start function. Had the dealer turn the function on with their IDS. Everything is as stated..plug & play.

wlepse Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thanks for the confirmation. One vendor sent me the Ford wak through and it looks easy but it did mention using the IDS to enable remote start. Was thinking if the dealer was going to charge me 100 bucks to do this maybe I should just apply that money towards software so I can do it myself or other things in the future. Anyone know of a good program? Found FOCOM yesterday but didn't have enough time to really read through what it can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I recently installed the bi-directional on my '11 Sport. All hardware installation was a breeze. Out of curiosity...did your kit only come with one key fob? If so do you know if another can be added? I prefer the integrated look of having the remote start in the key but am afraid the quoted range of 300' might be more like 100' in the real world. A guy I work with has the bidirectional and it is useable from inside the office to his car about 600' away. But only getting one key fob might be a deal breaker for me since we both want to be able to use this feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do sell separate key fob for about $40. The integrated key fob is much more convenient but the range on this thing is pretty impressive.

wlepse Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Do you know the P/N for the fob? I haven't seen them sold individually yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Weaver Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I am going to install the BT4Z-19G364-A and it came with no direction. If some one could send me the install directions I would appreciate it greatly. firenutts@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
