Ford Factory Vehicle Security System Question
Hey guys,
Over at fordaccessoriesstore.com they have the vehicle security kit (car alarm) for $194 w/out install and $334 w/ install. Is this something that I can install myself if I decide to just have it mailed directly to me?
For $194 and some sort of alarm on my truck I would sleep a little better
Here is the link I am not sure if it'll bring you directly to what I am looking at.

Plus I heard from the dealership its an easy install just plugging in some sort of chip since the trucks now are pre-wired for the alarms. Can anybody confrim this?

I don't mind the remote. It seems pretty decent. I had a Viper 2 way on my last truck and that thing wasn't always accurate.

Talk to Travis at www.kcautosound.com. He is a great guy with good customer service. He will pre-wire the alarm for you and send detailed instructions on how to install it yourself.
Here is a great buy.

didn't you already ask this before....The factory systems are not plug and play! You have to splice and connect the wires just like any other system.
the system you posted is just a very basic alarm with shock sensor, and just uses the factory RKE fob. Spend a few more bucks and get the factory "Gold" alarm/remote start system with 6-button key fob. 7L3Z-19G364-AA Remote Start w/Deluxe Vehicle Security & Keyless Entry Kit (RKE/VSS/RMST)
Take the part number for whatever system you are looking at and look it up on www.tascafordparts.com to see if they have a better price.
This website has some of the older install instructions (2007) for the Ford systems, you would just need to get the new 09 wiring diagram. http://www.gemsen.com/ford/pdf/

you still have an 04? The 04-08 factory RKE remote range did stink. The new 09 factory RKE remote range is tons better! It appears to go almost as far as the Ford "silver" remote start system remote I had on my old 04 FX4.

You are THE man! Price on fordaccessoriesstore.com for the remote start system is $371 w/out installation and your site is only $224!!!
Suweeeet! I didn't think I was going to be able to afford that system.
The big question is can I install this myself or will I NEED to have the dealership do it?

Yea I am ok with that... I have installed my own stereo head units before. Must be similar to that.
