2000 ford focus with command start

I bought this car used, and the previous owner who also bought the car used was never given the remote start key fobs.

It has the antenna by the rearview mirror. The hood pin is currently disconnected and the wire is just hooked on a bolt below it.

Wires go into the firewall and the starter device looks to be there in the steering column area. I need to remove the shroud to confirm.

All that said, once I figure out the model I should be able to find the remotes online for relatively cheap.

Is there anything I can do before I start chuckin cash for remotes to test the unit or am I hooped without the remote?

Thnx,

lbrowne

Need to know what brand and model number the remote starter is to help you.

I thought the brand is Command Start, the sticker under the hood says that. I guess that's just the generic note indicating a rmeote starter is installed.

I'm going to pull the car in tomorrow night once I'm done working on the wife's van. I'll know more then.

Ok this sucker was definitely put in by a professional. I found the toggle on/off switch. Found the ford transponder with the ford key in it.

The remote starter device is tucked way up, and I can't see a brand name or model on it. Just has an embossed oval with what looks to be a lightning bolt in the oval. Gunna be difficult to cut the ziptie to lower it down. Going to be more prying to see what I can do.

From what I can tell, everything is hooked up except for the hood pin. (and that wire is just hanging there, easy to plug in.)

actually, it's not really a lightning bolt. more like a slash type ensignia.

Ok I got everything out - wish I could edit posts instead of doing new replies but here are the marking on the main control unit: There's no brand name stamped on it:

kil 500a7

s011614999

sdrin kgi 7691

270i-C auto trans only

From what I can tell the "Command Start" and symbol on the battery cover match the symbol on the control unit under the dash.

ya that is the command start brand model cs-270i it is a little older and might be hard to find a manual. i believe it is a 4 button remote because i think i had that same model it my vehicle but took it out.command dont make those anymore and they recently took over the company Autostart

We have replacememnt remote controls for the 270i systems available. Please PM me for more details.

Awesome thanks! PM sent.

So is there anything I cna do to test the unit itself? Without having the hoodpin plugged in I switched the remote starter toggle to off and then back on and there was no blinking of indicator lights or anything.
