To remote start a Ford Excursion, you have a few options:
1. OEM Remote Start: If your Excursion has the stock alarm system, you can add an OEM remote start. According to a user on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums, you can purchase the Ford “GOLD” alarm package or a module that plugs into your existing setup. You will also need a new key fob for the remote start to work.
2. Aftermarket Remote Start: You can also consider installing an aftermarket remote start system. There are various kits available for the Ford Excursion, such as the MPC Complete Remote Start with Keyless Entry Kit and the EVO 1-Way All-In-One Remote Starter Kit by Fortin. These kits typically include a remote starter and a bypass module to temporarily bypass the vehicle immobilizer system during remote start.
3. Ford Remote Access: Some Ford models, including the Excursion, may come equipped with the Ford Remote Access system. This system allows you to start your vehicle remotely using the remote start button on your key fob transmitter. Simply lock your vehicle’s doors using the key fob, then push the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash twice to indicate success. To turn off the vehicle, push the remote start button once.
Please note that the availability and compatibility of remote start systems may vary depending on the model year and specific configuration of your Ford Excursion. It is recommended to consult with a Ford dealership or a professional installer to determine the best remote start option for your vehicle.
