10SECSHO Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I have the dealer installed remote start option on my 12 SHO and cannot find the instructions on how to operate it. It's the single small square device that attaches to the Ford remote. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolk1 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Does it look like this?: Thats an avital made by DEI, same company that makes Viper and Compustar, and several others. Try one of these 3 most common methods: Solid push, release, solid push. When I say solid, not just a quick tap, but like 1/2 second. Single solid push, you probably tried this one. Or, Press and hold for 3-4 seconds. During any of these did the dash lights come on or the parking lights flash? If so, it might be working, but not properly programmed. And could either need tach reset, or the immobilizer might need to be reprogrammed as a 3rd key. Edit: just saw you said dealer installed, these may or may not work. I really only deal with aftermarket systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10SECSHO Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hold for 3 second should hear a audible toot of horn and start. Ok...wish I could make it run longer than 10 minutes. The factory remote start on my 13 Explorer is way better than this 12 SHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kolk1 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hold for 3 second That was my option #3, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10SECSHO Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Actually mine runs for 5 minutes and shuts off. Between that and the engine shutting off when you open the doors this setup sucks. The factory one on my 13 Explorer is way better other than range..Maybe the dealer can program it better..don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetair Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 You sometimes need to hit the lock button on the remote first, even though the car is locked, then press the remote start button 2x. Hold on the second press until it starts to crank over. Pressing the start button again 1x makes it turn off. Try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how it works other than changing the run time. Do you know how to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
