    '02 Mountaineer - remote start from Ford

    I have a 02 Mountaineer AWD V8. I have the keyless entry and would
    like to add remote start. I know Ford makes one for the MM. Anyone
    tried it? Would I lose any keyless entry features? The remote looks
    like it doesn't the key to pop the back glass open.

    Any ideas, opinions are greatly appreciated.

    I've been researching this. For the Ford one if you just get the remote start
    you can keep the keypad. Also you still can pop the back glass, I think you
    hold the unlock button for 2 seconds or something.

    I asked about having the remote start turn on the defroster (hold down start
    button) and he said they don't do that cause they can't get it to work right.
    I didn't think to ask if they could have it turn on the heated seats instead!
    That would be great!

    Also you can still use your old remotes if you want. (No remote start of
    course)

    One thing I forgot to ask is if you can use the remote start to keep the car
    running for quick errands like the aftermarket systems.

    (apologies to JaWise, didn't mean to "Reply to sender" on this one, meant to
    reply to group but hit the wrong button)

    you 
    start 
    right. 
    instead! 

    So I guess I shouldn't even bother with asking them again I had that
    installed in my '02 Explorer November of 2001.... the rear defrost option
    wasn't working.... and he said he'd call me when they found out why. No
    call in nearly 2 years...... but I continued to check up on it for 6 months
    and gave up long ago.

    Oh yes, surely so. I have the Gold System (Security & Remote Start) package.
    When I pull up to a stop, I put it into park, take my foot off of the brake,
    and then hold down the remote start button on my keypad for 2 seconds. I
    hear a chirp (or some may hear the horn honk if they chose that rather than
    the siren), and my doors lock. Then, I turn the key to the off position and
    take them out and exit the vehicle. The engine continues to run for a
    pre-set time (mine is apparently 10 minutes, but I read it's programmable by
    the installer for 10 to 15 minutes).
