Ford Transit Connect Remote Start Features

• Ford Remote Keyless Entry Activation: Activate this system by pressing LOCK 3 times on your Ford keyless entry remote. You will be able to activate this system from the same distance that you can lock and unlock your vehicle from now. Or if you would like more range, you can add the RFK411 remotes to boost the range up to 2000'. Go the distance and enable the ability to remote start your vehicle from the checkout counter!
  
  ► Tech Tip: Adding the RFK-411 long-range remotes does not disable your ability to activate the system with your factory remotes; the system can be activated with both.
   
• 15-Minute Remote Start Run Time: The system will automatically shut down after 15 minutes.
  
  ► Or if you like, you can choose a custom longer or shorter run time offered during checkout.
   
• Automatic HEAT/AC Activation: Just leave your climate control settings on where you want them when parking the vehicle before turning the engine off, and the system will automatically turn them on after you activate the remote starter.
   
• Active Remote Shut-Down: You can cancel the remote starter from running sooner the same way you activated it.
   
• Active Key Takeover! The engine will not shut down when the driver's door is opened. So, you will not have to restart the vehicle with the key every time after you remote start it. You just enter the vehicle, turn the ignition on, and when you step on the brake pedal to shift into gear, the remote starter shuts down, but the vehicle remains running normally with the key!
   
• Also Compatible to both Transit Connects without Ford Remote Keyless Entry or without Power Door Locks. The Fortin RFK-411 long-range remotes offered during checkout will be required to activate this system.

Remote Starter Safety & Security Features

• Brake Pedal Shut-Down: 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.
   
• Open Hood Shutdown: The vehicle cannot be remote started with the vehicle's hood open, and the engine will immediately shut down if the hood is opened while the vehicle is running by the remote starter. Vehicle must be equipped with a factory or aftermarket hood pin switch to enable this feature.

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 2014 to 2016 Ford Transit Connect. 2 on the steering column under the steering column covers and 1 T-harness connection to the vehicle's OBD2 port.
   
• No OBD2 Port Blocking. Keep your vehicle's OBD2 port accessible for any diagnostic service. No need to unplug the remote starter harness from the vehicle's OBD2 plug every time you need to use the vehicle's OBD2 port during vehicle service or for additional accessories.
  
  ► Tech-Tip: OBD2 port blocking is an installation detail you need to look out for. Many systems often leave this detail out because of the fact that their system does block the vehicle's OBD2 port (plugs straight into the OBD2 port and doesn't use a T-harness).
   
• In-Vehicle Programming. 2 keys to your vehicle are all that's required to program this system to your vehicle. No computers, special programmers, or downloads are involved. Go straight from delivery to your vehicle for installation.

► IN-VEHICLE PROGRAMMING 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 T-Harness: No wires or extra plugs to sort through that are left over and not used, meant for other Ford vehicles. MotorCityAutobahn supplies only the T-harness meant for your specific Ford vehicle. OEM grade, the plugs on the T-harness have just the connections you use for your specific vehicle, nothing else. This provides a more intuitive installation and a professional-looking installation when finished.
   
• Vehicle-Specific Installation Guide: A clear & concise illustrated step-by-step installation guide that will guide you through every step of the installation. Written by professional installers for the DIY installer. No generic charts to look through to determine which installation method is used or not used for your specific Ford.
