Can anyone give me the wire colors for the RX and TX wires in a 06 Ford Explorer? What bypass is good for this vehicle. Thanks in advance.....

I have been trying to use the XK04 from Bypasskits... I tried the PKFORD update and the PK3. I am using those wire colors for the PATS.. Tried resetting the module and even tried another module.. Any ideas??? Thanks

To program the bypass module successfully by using the remote start, first you need to make sure the remote start part is working properly.

Just leave the XK04 unplugged, insert the key and don't turn it. Try remote start the vehicle, if it starts & stays running, then you can proceed to program the XK04.

Just follow the programming procedure comes with XK04. Otherwise you will never be able to get the XK04 programmed.

I've had Ford switch the RX/TX wires on me before. Try switching them around.
