Remote lock/unlock and start range

[TheJoker]

IT still works fine behind the grill?

It's plastic, the grills plastic, works like a charm.

You can see barely see it above the plate/below the "OR" in Ford.

I had a range issue with mine (2011). I narrowed it down to my E-Z Pass transponder interfering with the remotes antenna, which is located at the rear view mirror. I traded the transponder in, for one located on the front of the vehicle. Problem solved!

This is just for clarification, the factory installed remote start antenna is located between the glove box and the passenger side air bag on the backside of the dash. If you add the bi-directional remote start to your truck you get a second antenna that is suppose to mount at the inside rearview mirror.

I have added the bi-directional remote start to my Raptor and the range is excellent plus you get the benefit of the vehicle security system as it must be added also. I would estimate the range is increased 5-10 times depending on where you locate the bi-d antenna. Here is the link to my install http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f12/vehicle-security-system-remote-start-upgrade-39422/ .

I am going to run a couple tests either way, one with the ez pass in its current location and one without the ez pass in the truck

Ditto. I may have to do the same just for grins.
