USING MYKEY WITH 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 your Ford
authorized dealer for a Ford-approved
remote start system.
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 MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED
or ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED. 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 the vehicle into
gear. This is intentional. When you restart
your vehicle, it reads your real key
(traditional key or intelligent key fob)
status instead of the remote start system
’s
status.
As an added precaution, owners of vehicles
equipped 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
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 (page 50).
Follow Steps 1-3.
After clearing your MyKeys, you can create
a new MyKey. See
Creating a MyKey
(page 50).
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.

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 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 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 (page 50). As an added precaution, owners of vehicles

This feature helps to prevent you from
unintentionally locking your intelligent
access key inside your vehicle ’s passenger
compartment or rear cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle using the
power door lock control (with the door
open, vehicle in park and ignition off), your
vehicle will search for an intelligent access
