Does anyone have the factory remote start? I want to know the range since I would rather use the factory system since the '04 has the keyless entry option. (an aftermarket would not be compatible) Also, are you happy with the system?
Thanks again! |

Thom,
When you say keyless entry, I'm not sure if you mean via a remote or the keypad on the door. I have an aftermarket alarm/remote start on my '00 and my keypad still works without a problem. However, I did go with the alarm/remote start combo to get the convenience of keyless entry and remote start built into one remote control.

I have the Ford Gold Remote Start on my '03 Ex installed by my dealer for the $450-$495 range...
Haven't really measured it, but advertised range is 600'...
whatever it is, it's enogh for me...
And works very well.

I don't believe that any aftermarket alarm/remote start system will work with the keypad on the door - that was what I was referring to.

Thom,
My keypad on the door does work still, but it doesn't disarm my aftermarket alarm system when I use the keypad to unlock the door.
