Using MyKey with Remote Start Systems
MyKey is NOT compatible with non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start systems. If you choose to install a remote start system please see
your Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved remote start system.
The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a
non-Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do
NOT make MyKey compatible with non-Ford-approved remote start
system, but it MAY help you to retain some MyKey functions.
Vehicles Equipped with Traditional Keys
When using a non-Ford-approved remote start system, the default
settings may recognize the remote start system as an additional admin
key with its associated privileges. This makes it NOT compatible with
MyKey. Restart the vehicle when you insert a key into the ignition
cylinder it may help you to retain some MyKey functions.
In addition to the key that has been programmed as a MyKey, owners of
vehicles equipped with traditional keys have the option to program the
non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey if the remote start
fob is used by the MyKey driver.
To program a non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey, do the
following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using a non-Ford approved remote start fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-5 in the Creating a MyKeysection.
Vehicles Equipped with Intelligent Access Key (Push Button Start)
Note: It is not possible to program the remote start system as a MyKey
on vehicles equipped with intelligent access key (push button start).
Therefore, you should treat the remote start fob as you would any other
admin key. When the vehicle is started using remote start, the system
will stall the vehicle when you either enter the vehicle or shift the
vehicle into gear. Prior to the stall, the vehicle will have administrative
privileges. When you restart the vehicle, the vehicle will identify the user
as an admin or MyKey driver depending on the settings of the actual key
used to start the vehicle.
