USING MYKEY WITH REMOTE
START SYSTEMS
Vehicles With Ford-Approved
Aftermarket Remote Start
Systems
When using a Ford-approved aftermarket
remote start system, the vehicle recognizes
the remote start system as an additional
admin key. It is the vehicle
’s default setting.
You can also program the remote start as
a MyKey. As a result, the MyKey system
status menu display includes the remote
start system as an additional key in the
total count of programed keys. See
Checking MyKey System Status (page
50).
When you start your vehicle with a
Ford-approved aftermarket remote start
system, the system stalls the engine after
you open the door or shift your vehicle into
gear. This is intentional. When you restart
your vehicle, it reads the Key or intelligent
Key fob status instead of the remote start
system status.
As an added precaution, owners of vehicles
fitted with traditional keys may want to
program the remote start system as a
MyKey, if the MyKey driver uses the remote
start fob. That way, when the MyKey driver
starts the vehicle with the remote start
system, the MyKey restrictions remain
active.
With a Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start system, it is possible to program all
keys as MyKeys unintentionally. If this
happens, then the remote start fob is the
admin key. If you want to have only one
key as a MyKey, or do not want to have any
MyKeys, then you need to use your remote
start to clear all MyKeys. In that case,
follow these steps:
1. Enter your vehicle and close all doors. 2. Start your vehicle using your remote
start fob.
3. See
Clearing All MyKeys (page 48).
Follow Steps 1-3.
After clearing your MyKeys, you can create
a new MyKey. See Creating a MyKey
(page 47).
Note: For vehicles with Intelligent Access
keys (push-button start), you cannot
program the remote start system as a
MyKey. Always treat the remote start fob
as you would any other admin key.
Vehicles With Non-Ford-Approved
Aftermarket Remote Start
Systems
MyKey is not compatible with
non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start systems. If you choose to install a
remote start system, see an authorized
dealer for a Ford-approved remote start
system.
The following information may help if you
choose to install a non-Ford-approved
remote start system. The actions provided
below do not make MyKey compatible with
non-Ford-approved remote start systems,
but may help you retain some MyKey
functions.
When using a non-Ford-approved remote
start system, the vehicle may recognize
the remote start system as an additional
admin key with its associated privileges. If
you restart the engine by inserting a key
into the ignition cylinder and recycling the
ignition completely, then you may retain
some MyKey functions. This action forces
your vehicle to read the traditional key
instead of the remote start fob and then
uses the MyKey associated privileges.
Note: The MyKey system status menu
display may include the remote start system
as an additional key in the total count of
programed keys. See Checking MyKey
System Status (page 50).
