Ford Gold alarm/remote start

[mmayo]

Does anyone know how to get into program mode? I am wanting to change my alarm where it will start in 5 seconds instead of the 30 seconds.

Thanks

1-open drivers door
2-turn key to on
3-press and hold override button(lower or under dash)for 10 sec. horn will chirp 3 times
4-release override button
5-press and release override button until the horn chirps 7 times(this is bank#4)
6-press panic button on remote until horn chirps 5 times(diesel timer)alarm led will be on solid
7-press lock button on remote(alarm led will turn off)
you truck will now start about 3 sec. after key on with remote.

all of this info is on the ford website but takes some digging to find,i installed my own and it works great, i got the instructions from there site, dealer was no help

When you say you installed your own, did you have just the regular keyless and then added the remote start? How hard was this and cost wise?

I'd like to know this as well. I have the full alarm, minus the remote start. I'd like to add that. So any info you can provide would be appreciated.

boostin-- Thanks for your help - appreciate it. I actually have the same instructions (cant remember where I got them). Anyways, after reading your post I got to thinking bout the fuse I removed to keep my lights from coming on when i open my door(s). Popped her back in & the programming worked.

There is something else I wanted to change as well now but I cant remember.....gotta find my instructions & figure out what it was before I take my fuse back out!

i had the regular keyless entry,installation is pretty straight forward with the instructions telling where to make connections and what color the wire is,cost was about 350-400 with pats(coded key) adapter,bought from dealer for b-day by my wife,works really well. mayo-glad you figured out what was up with yours

changed the timing from 10 min to 15 min.....also changed it to where it doesn't honk when it starts- but i noticed it doesn't honk to tell me it is gonna start either(it used to honk twice) so i might change that back....

also, for anyone that cares, I put my fuse back in, (for the dome lights) evidently, the alarm feeds off that & wouldn't go off if the door opened.............good thing those fkers(that smashed my window monday) didn't get my HK, rock river & .22 pistol the other night after smashing my window.............guess they knew i had an alarm & only wanted to snatch the 32g itouch

I was quoted from the dealer, adding the remote start would be about $485 or $385 (can't remember). Currently I have the full alarm minus the remote start. Seems a little steep, gonna have to check on how much for just the parts.
