Remote Start FORScan mods for the F-150

1 remote start mod across roughly 2 code rows, 0 of them lower risk. Each has its own page with the modules involved, which model years it fits, and what the change actually does. Pick the ones that fit your truck and F-Config prints them as a single worksheet.

Modules touched in this category: BCM.

This category is one 2015–2020 item: Aftermarket Remote Start Enable. It is a Body Control Module change that turns on support for an aftermarket remote-start system. It does not install a factory remote start, and it does not add the feature to a truck that has no remote-start hardware.

The worksheet lists two BCM rows. Address 726-22-02 sets the aftermarket remote-start bit (xxx1). Address 726-38-02 is optional and clears the horn chirp some trucks make on a double lock press. Both rows are for 2015–2020 trucks only.

The catalog stops this mod at model year 2020. On 2021 and newer F-150s, the closest related behavior is a factory remote-start on/off toggle, not this aftermarket-integration bypass, so the row is not offered for those years. A 2021 or newer truck will not find a matching item here.

The change is rated advanced and fully reversible. Record the original BCM values before writing. The aftermarket unit still needs its own hardware and programming. The FORScan row only enables the truck side of that integration.

Questions about remote start mods

Does this add factory remote start?

No. It enables BCM support for an aftermarket remote-start system on a 2015–2020 F-150. The remote-start hardware is separate from this as-built row.

Why is there no 2021+ remote-start page?

The 2021+ platform does not use this aftermarket bypass. The catalog does not offer the row past 2020.

Which module is written?

The Body Control Module (BCM), at 726-22-02, with an optional second row at 726-38-02 for the double-lock horn chirp.
