2023-2025 Ford Transit Remote Start Features:

• Activate this system by pressing your Ford's OEM keyless entry remote's lock button 3 times: The distance that you will be able to activate the remote starter will be the same distance that you can remotely lock and unlock your vehicle's doors now...
  
  Or, if you think you would want a longer range than your factory remotes provide now or in the future, you can always plug-and-play upgrade the system with any of Viper's DS3/DS4 series long-range remote packages.
   
• 15-Minute Remote Start Run Time: The engine will shut down automatically after 15 minutes.
   
• Active Remote Shut-Down: You can cancel the remote starter sooner the same way you activated it.
   
• Active Key Takeover: The remote starter will not immediately shut down when the driver's door is opened.
   
• Automatic Heat & AC Activation: Automatically engages the vehicle's climate controls based on prior settings.
   
• Activates OEM autolights while running.
   
• Ford Dash Display Control: Set what options your vehicle has that the remote starter system can activate through your vehicle's settings display, like climate control, heated seats, heated steering wheel, and disable/enable remote start activation. Options will depend on the vehicle's trim and OEM features level. Equivalent to Ford OEM remote starter systems.
   

2023-2025 Ford Transit Remote Start Installation:

• 1-Plug to Vehicle Installation: No wire cutting or splicing. Just 1 T-harness connection to the rear of your vehicle's OBD2 port is all that's required to install this system into a 2023 to 2025 Ford Transit with key ignition, remote keyless entry, and without 12" dash displays only (the wiring harness is different on Transits with 12" displays.)
  
  The plug-in connection is made right behind the vehicle's OBD2 diagnostic plug below the driver's side dash (watch video below.)
   
• After plugging it in, activation is done simply by turning the vehicle's ignition ON, waiting a few seconds for the GREEN LED to turn ON & OFF, then turning the ignition OFF, and you're done!
   
• No key programming procedures, no additional parts, no computers, or special dealer programmers are involved.
   
• Go straight from Delivery to Installation, step-by-step illustrated installation guides. 
   
• Average Installation Time: Less than 30 Minutes.

Ford Transit Remote Start Safety & Security Features:

• Brake Pedal Monitoring for Security: The steering column remains locked, and the remote starter will immediately shut down if the brake pedal is stepped on before the ignition is turned on.
   
• Open Hood Monitoring for Safety: The remote start will not activate with the hood open and would immediately shut down if the vehicle was running by the remote starter and the hood was opened. The vehicle must be equipped with a factory-installed hood pin switch to enable this feature and the remote start system.
  
  TECH TIP: To confirm your Transit is equipped with a hood pin switch (the majority are), just pull the hood release lever and turn the ignition on; when equipped, the dash display will indicate that the hood is open.
   
• Equipped with the same OEM safety and operating restrictions as a Ford factory-installed remote starter: The system will detect any current or stored fault codes, which will prevent the remote starter from activating. If the hood is open, the transmission is not in park, the vehicle's battery voltage is too low, the check engine light is on, or any stored DTC codes (no visual lights on the dash) will prevent the system from activating (you can also consult your vehicle's owner's/operator's manual).
   
• Entrance Security and Safety: In addition, on most Ford vehicles, depending on how the OEM ECM was configured, it will only allow key takeover to be performed within an allotted amount of time after entering the vehicle. This time span can range from 45 seconds to 4 minutes before the engine will shut down if the key takeover procedure has not been performed (i.e., entering and turning your vehicle's ignition on).
   
• Fail-Safe Design: In the unlikely event of a component failure, the system cannot prevent you from starting your vehicle normally with a key.

2-Year "Red-Carpet" Warranty

• 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 unlikely event that it happens, once one of our techs determines the problem, we will send you out the replacement 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 for 2 years!

*45-Day QC Money-Back Performance Guarantee

• With proven quality & performance and literally tens of thousands of systems installed into vehicles on the road today, if within 45 days from the date of delivery, you're not totally satisfied with the quality or performance of the system, before or after installation, just send us an email or give us a call, and one of our technicians will send you a prepaid return shipping label with an RMA# via email at no cost to you. You will receive a full refund with no restocking fees.
  
  *The only requirements you have are keeping the original box the system was delivered in in order to retain our 45-day 100% money-back with free returns guarantee and that the system is complete and doesn't look like it was altered or carelessly mishandled with grime, scratches, or damage to, or missing labels or parts (basically you can think of your payment as a "deposit" for the 45-Day guarantee)
