An all-digital system that provides an almost effortless DIY installation using just a single Y-connector that simply plugs in right under your driver's side dash, totally eliminating the need for any wire tapping, cutting, or splicing, keeping your vehicle's OEM wiring intact.
After plugging in the system, a simple system activation procedure is done just by turning the vehicle's ignition ON & OFF. No key programming procedures, never any computers or special programmers involved.
After you activate the system, your next step is to program the remotes to the control module using the remote programming button on the system's antenna. And that's about it.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide & Video

- System includes two 1-button remote transmitters.
- Viper D-series remotes upgradable: Decide later that you would like even more range or 2-way notification; this system can easily be upgraded any time after installation with any of Viper's digital series remote packages.
Standard SAE Safety & Security Features Include:
- This system is equipped with the same OEM safety and operating restrictions as Ford's factory installed remote starters: The system will detect any current or stored fault codes and will prevent the remote starter from activating. If the hood is open, the transmission is not in park, the vehicle's battery voltage is too low, the check engine light is on, or any stored DTC codes (no visual lights on the dash) will prevent the system from activating (you can also consult your vehicle's owners/operators manual).
- Entrance protection and safety: In addition, on most Ford vehicle's, depending on how the OEM ECM was configured, it will only allow key takeover to be performed within an allotted amount of time after entering the vehicle. This time span can range from 1 to 4 minutes before the engine will shut down if the key takeover has not been performed (you can also consult your vehicle's owners/operators manual).
- Fail-Safe Design: In any instance of a system failure, the system cannot prevent you from starting the vehicle normally with a key.
- This system cannot be activated by your factory remotes.
