easy truck, but pos alarm. The starter works great, good range and decent 2way capabilities.

if the shock sensor goes off, it doesnt page the remote. installed a few, and they worked great, but not worth the money.

Also ign 2 needs connecting, BLACK/ light green, what EXACTLY happens when yo try to activate it? Have you programmed tach and remotes?
Also use a spell-check, it goes to your workmanship! You should contact Tedmund if you are local, pay him to install this properly.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

ProStarts you need to program remote and also tach wire. No bypass required for the Super Duty's ( except in 2008+ ). Also, the IGN wire may also be a BLUE/GREEN instead of the RED / BLACK. Check to see that you have the proper IGN wire.
