This video should apply to any F150 that came from the Canadian market. A must watch to activate your factory remote start both for the module AND the gauge cluster.
Thanks for posting this video! I have a 2011 f150 EcoBoost (I believe xlt) I installed the remote start but I could not find the right code to have it show in my gage cluster! After more searching I came across your video and happened to notice your code (before the rewrite) showed the same as mine. So I continued on to change (rewrite) the code to what you suggested for your model truck,and low and behold it worked! I now have the remote start option in my gage cluster! Thanks again!
thanks man, i believe my remote starts set for an FX truck in the cluster and its an XLT so i have no air or heat during remote start. fixing it asap with this method thanks bro!
You can do either or, you just have to be careful on what you're changing in the as-built section since it's not clearly labeled on what is what. I believe since this video, Forscan has released updates to include the options without needing to modify the as-built portion.
hi, Purchased this Perimeter Plus Anti-Theft Alarm System Part # FS7Z-19A361-A to install it on my edge 2016 titanuim but it looks like I purchased the wrong item, wich part # did you install in your truck? Thank you!
So I wasn’t sure if Forescan worked on the 12th gen F150’s. I. Got a 2014 FX4 and want to do the remote windows as well as remote folding mirrors. Would that be possible?? Thanks
Global windows should be able to be activated, though I'm not sure how. Remote (or auto) folding mirrors is not possible as far as I'm aware, I did a lot of searching for that.
So since doing this, i have noticed the parking guidelines on my backup camera are missing, and the option to turn it on and off are going from the cluster screen as well... any help?
@@McBosshog85 Thanks, figured it out. I dont necessarily think it matters whether your truck is "FX4" trim or not. Mine is FX4 from CA and I had to use the forscan google spreadsheet -> IPC tab and go by what you have installed in your truck.
Just curious if you can shut the truck off by pressing the start button once? I enabled remote start on my 2013 xlt xtr by changing 0047 to 0148 and I have to manually shut the truck off with the key. Canadian truck.
@@McBosshog85 when I try my taillights flash. Not sure if the code is different for a Canadian truck or possibly a issue with my fob... Will pressing your brake kill the engine?
I installed everything and got the cluster on the screen. Programmed both keys. They start, lock & unlock. But when I press the remote start 2X, it honks once and doesn't start. I have a 2012 F150 XLT. Any ideas?
@@McBosshog85 got it. I do have the hood switch, but it isn't being pushed low enough. I held it down with my thumb and pushed the start button. It started. I'll adjust and be good. Thank you for all the quick responses and help. You're awesome
Do you know where I could find the instructions for a 2013 ford f150, XLT? I have the remote start working, but I need the display turned on. Any help would be great. Thanks!
My video may apply to you, otherwise there's another video where another gentleman made one with a XLT. Same process, just different code punching in forscan.
@@McBosshog85 Thanks, can you send me that link to the video? The codes seen on your forscan, are different than mine. For instance, my lines say: 720-01-02 (3D89, 6C0A, 046A), but it didn't allow me to change them. Did you need a ms-can tool. It seems like the OBD2 reader won't allow me to change the codes? Any help is appreciated, thanks so much!
Honestly, I'm not sure. Never heard of a FX gauge cluster with blue lighting. Once you check your as-built data, it should somewhat help you decide which you choose based on the original value
6C0A needs to be changed to 6F0A if you have no rear defrost/or heated/cooled seats 6F2A if you have rear defrost but no hested/cooled seats 6FEA if you have both rear defrost and heated/cooled seats
Just followed this vid on my 2012 F150 xlt.. (FX4) worked like a charm!! Thanks pal!!
Parts used:
OBDlink MS
Forscan on my laptop.. Windows 10
THANK YOU for this video. I just installed and its awesome to have the ability to change the settings on the remote start!!

No problem! Glad I was able to help
Thank you for the video and also thank you for explaining the settings in between XLT and FX thanks
Thanks for this video, it saved me a lot of money!
Great info! I was hoping the link to the xlt vid would be in description but I'll search for it.
Looking forward to the next video!!
thanks man, i believe my remote starts set for an FX truck in the cluster and its an XLT so i have no air or heat during remote start. fixing it asap with this method thanks bro!
Edit: this video may apply to trucks that came from Canada, not just for FX models. Correct me if yours didnt come from there.
Hey man. Do you know how to remove the automatic daytime running lights feature using forscan?
I was reading to NOT re-write the AS BUILT but the other column , any comments on that thought ???

Did you have to get new key cut at the dealer for your remote?
Yes. You will need the key that has the additional button for the remote start feature.
Just curious if you can shut the truck off by pressing the start button once? I enabled remote start on my 2013 xlt xtr by changing 0047 to 0148 and I have to manually shut the truck off with the key. Canadian truck.
I believe if you press and hold the "start" button, it should shut the truck back off.

Yes
@@McBosshog85 ok. Thanks for the input. Looks like I've got some research ahead of me..
So if you do this you don't have to buy the remote starter kit ?
You need the kit. This video covers the programming portion of the installation.
how to remove speed limit with forscan ford f150 2013
I installed everything and got the cluster on the screen. Programmed both keys. They start, lock & unlock. But when I press the remote start 2X, it honks once and doesn't start. I have a 2012 F150 XLT. Any ideas?
Is there a hood switch? Should be on the driver side riding the fender rail,
@@McBosshog85 yes, it has the hood switch. And I had all the doors/windows closed
Do the keys start the truck?
@@McBosshog85 yes and lock/unlock the doors
@@McBosshog85 got it. I do have the hood switch, but it isn't being pushed low enough. I held it down with my thumb and pushed the start button. It started. I'll adjust and be good. Thank you for all the quick responses and help. You're awesome

@@SalYourPalChencho
Change 6C0A to:
6F2A assuming you dont have heated/cooled seats but have rear defrost
DIY FordGuy I’ll try that. Will it work with my obd2 connector or do I need a mscan connector?
@@SalYourPalChencho you need the ms can ODB adapter in order to be able to see the IPC module
