1 Plug to Vehicle Installation: No wire tapping or cutting. 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 2019 to 2023 Ford Ranger with Flip-Key Ignitions (see demo installation video below.)

2019 to 2023 Ford Ranger Remote Starter Features:
Activate this system by pressing your Ford's Smart Key's lock button 3 times. The distance at which you will be able to activate the remote starter will be the same distance at which you can remotely lock and unlock your vehicle's doors now.
If you think you would want longer range than what your factory remotes provide now, during, or after installation, you can always upgrade this system with any of the Viper™ D-series long-range remote packages. Just stick the antenna to the windshield, plug the antenna into the module, and then program the remotes to your system, and you're done. Get anywhere from 1200' to 1 mile of range depending on the model of remotes you choose.
15-Minute Remote Start Run Time: The engine will shut down automatically after 15 minutes.
Active Remote Shutdown: 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.
Ford Ranger Remote Start Safety & Security Features:
Brake Pedal Monitoring for Security: 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 will immediately shut down if the hood is opened while the vehicle is running by the remote starter.
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 low fuel light is on, 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., enter and turn 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.

45-Day QC Money-Back Guarantee: Premium components with proven quality & performance with 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 performance of your system after installation, just unplug it, put everything back in the box, and 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. Believe it or not, the only time we really get a return is for 1 of 2 reasons: either they didn't install the system yet and they unexpectedly sold the vehicle, or they totaled it! It's true.
