MotorCityAutobahn.com Ford Super Duty Remote Start Review

Wiki Article

The MotorCityAutobahn product page for the 2017–2022 Ford Super Duty remote start is built around a DIY, vehicle-specific remote starter kit designed for Super Duty trucks with key ignitions, covering both gas and diesel engines. The page emphasizes that this is a true model-specific system, so buyers don’t have to deal with universal harnesses, computer programming, or downloading vehicle-specific manuals before Ford Super Duty Remote Start installation.

The system is marketed as a “fast lane” installation: you plug one T-harness connector into the truck’s wiring behind the OBD2 port, follow a step-by-step guide, and avoid any guesswork or complex wiring. A key convenience point is that the OBD2 port remains fully accessible even after installation, so you don’t need to unplug the remote start module every time a shop or accessory needs the port for diagnostics or other equipment.

Activation is handled through your existing Ford keyless entry remote by pressing the lock button three times, so you don’t have to carry an extra fob unless you want to. The page also offers an optional long-range remote upgrade, which lets you start the truck from up to about 1,300 feet away and adds keyless entry from the same distance. On one-button remotes, the sequence is one press to lock, two presses to unlock, and press-and-hold to activate remote start. Importantly, adding long-range remotes does not disable factory-remote activation; the system works with both.

For diesel owners, the system includes a delay-before-crank feature: it turns the ignition on and waits 5–15 seconds to allow glow plugs to warm before cranking, which helps protect the engine and improve starting reliability in cold weather. The standard remote start run time is 15 minutes, and the system is covered by a 2-year warranty along with a 45-day QC performance guarantee and free insured USPS shipping.

Pricing is shown as an MSRP of $249.95 with a sale price of $194.95, a $55 discount, and the page lists stock availability and support hours. Overall, the page positions this as a convenient, no-programming, plug-in remote start solution for 2017–2022 Super Duty owners who want winter warm-ups, defrosting, and summer cool-downs without visiting a dealer or professional installer.
