64 MyKey
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, please see a
Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved system.
The following information may help customers who 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 vehicle 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 key's
associated privileges.
Note: The MyKey system status menu display may include the remote
start system as an additional key in the total count of MYKEY(S)
PROGRAMMED or ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED. See Checking
MyKey System Status.
As an added precaution, owners 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 will be remain active.
With a non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote start system, it is possible
to program all real keys as MyKeys unintentionally. If this happens, then
the remote start fob is the admin key. If you want to have only one real
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:
• Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
• Remote start the vehicle using your remote start fob.
• See Clearing All MyKeys. Follow Steps 1-3.
After clearing your MyKeys, you can create a new MyKey. See Creating
a MyKey.
