Ford Perimeter Plus opinion

[funk74]

Installed on a 2019 Raptor.
Part # KN1Z-19A361-A
Came with the module, 6 zip ties, a jumper, some stickers, and manual.

As a normal person would do, I opened up a beer, didn't read the manual, and went to work on it. I didn't order the bajamod thing, figure if this doesn't work, i can always get it.

Harness was easy after reading all of the posts, pretty much self explanitory. Figuring out where to zip tie it was more challenging. Anyway, I saw a few holes on the L side above the kick panel. You can see in the attached pictures after I put it in. Maybe should have taken some pre pictures. I was able to tighten up the zip ties pretty well. Locked the car, and went away for 15 minutes. Came back, hit the b pillar and the Alarm went off. Didn't get a warning honk.

Didn't need the jumper and kept the sensitivity setting as it came from ford. May try and adjust sensitivity to see if I can get it to give a warning.

If you are going the zip tie method, I'd put on all of the zip ties through the holes before you tighten any of them. Also put in the top 2 first as you have some more mobility.

Has anyone successfully added the interior sensors in the overhead console on a 800A or 801A? Curious if you need Forscan to enable them or if they will just work. There may not even be any wiring for the sensors.

So I added my Perimeter Plus (Christmas present) module on my 19 800A today. Not much info out there on 800A's... I did not have remote start on my key fob from the factory. I did have remote start via the ford pass app though. Kind of stupid Ford does that. But at least it was enabled and I didn't need to Forscan anything. Anyhow, I got everything installed and used the wire tie method. Alarm works fine. Had a few issues getting the key fob remote start to work. I had to add the jumper to get it to work. Now everything works fine.

So if you have an 800A, you will need the jumper to get the key fob remote start to work.

Resurrecting an old thread after my tailgate was stolen this weekend and deciding I need more protection on the truck. I'm going to get a tailgate lock however I'm curious if the Perimeter Plus will help protect my tailgate.

Has anyone tested the alarm by trying to set it off using the tailgate?

You can adjust the sensitivity.
Mine will go off if I push down on the bumper.

Here’s a tailgate lock:

Thanks for confirming and that's the exact lock I ordered. I had it on Tundra and never had any issues. Hopefully this helps prevent another tailgate from getting stolen.
