PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with TRANSPONDER chips in the ignition keys. This system must be bypassed for Remote Starter installation. A keyless bypass module may be available, contact your distributor to find out. If one of these modules is not available to you, see the appropriate security diagram for bypass instructions.

I only use Fortin bypasses....so the keyoveride sl2 or keyoveride all work perfect on Fords. As for the remote start, it's more of what you can get your hands on.....I use compustar, so the 1wams is perfect...but unless you get it off of ebay, you might have trouble finding one.

I have two more questions. I installed the Autopage C|3 RS-727 and used the ADS-TBSL FM/ADS-TB transponder bypass module. I cant seem to figure out where to connect the GREEN/ red wire and the gray/red wire for the bypass module. It tells me to connect to ECM-RX and ECM-TX and the pink wire to IGNITION INPUT. Also can seem to get the trunk to open up using the brown wire in the kick panel(there are 2 brown wires, a fat one and skinny one. Neither wire worked) I am stumped....any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The remote start works without these 3 wires connected but a key has to be in the ignition.

Nevermind that, I figured out where the 3 wires go for the transponder. After i programmed it the truck still doesnt start though, I hit the auto start and the door trigger (zone 3) flashes on the LCD key pad and the key pad acts as if it did start.
