Why removing the mirror?

Installing a Homelink mirror. That Car2u stuff I never have been able to get to work right.

Installed my RPG Stage 2 suspension kit.....took me about 6 hrs to do solo, next time I think that I'll find someone to help and remove the bed and work from the top!

Helped the dealer tech with the installation of the FoMoCo Vehicle Security System and the Remote Access which allows the smartphone app to do everything the keyfob can do (unlock, lock, start, stop, find) but from unlimited range since it uses a cell phone signal to communicate. The Vehicle Security module adds a shock sensor and interior theft sensor and then the Remote Access module sends you a text and/or email when someone trips the alarm. The dealer had not installed one before so the learning curve was steep but I had already studied the install instructions as I was going order the parts from a dealer on ebay who then does the activation over the phone after you install the parts yourself. Install of the modules is plug-n-play but a dealer must activate the system. I decided to have the dealer do the install so I could get the parts covered under the factory warranty. I also added the LED Anti Theft Flasher as it was cheap and FoMoCo does not charge any install on it even though it took longer than installing the other two modules.

I had this installed at time of delivery too. I thought the glass/motion sensor was also an optional part?

I was sold DL3Z-19A390-B and DL3Z-19A361-A plus $100 for install/activation. What is the part number for the sensor and red light?
EDIT: See that you provided links. So I have the sensors? How can I tell or test it?

The Leather Console Lid is from a Lariat model that I ordered from Tasca Parts.
Brand New Charcoal Black Center Console Cover Lid 2009 2013 Ford F 150 | eBay

The LED Lighting is aftermarket from DoubleAA
The Double AA - FORD RAPTOR FORUM - Ford SVT Raptor Forums - Ford Raptor

The lid was an easy project I found in a thread here on FRF, but I cant find it this morning It takes about 15 minutes to swap the lock and mount it.

The LED setup has the cup holder, footwell lights front and back. SVT Fender lights, Front Hood lights and a projector.

I am assuming the dealer activated the RMU and you got the app on your phone and it does the same stuff as the keyfob?

To arm the system you have to use the lock button on the keyfob or your app (hitting the door button to lock will not set the alarm) and then wait 20 seconds for it to arm. I have been testing the shock sensor and ended up turning the sensitivity all the way up. A smack on the windshield and the horn chirps once. A harder smack and the alarm goes off with the horn honking and honking. I do not think it is sensitive enough to go off with a door-ding. Test the perimeter alarm (doors opening) by putting the window down, arming the system (wait 20 seconds) then unlock the door with the door switch and open the door, the alarm should go off.

I have not yet figured out how the infrared Interior Theft Sensor works as I cannon trip the alarm by reaching into an open window or even by hiding in the back seat, arming it, and then jumping out and yelling boo! I will post this issue for the Ford IVT rep.

Also, here's the link for the FoMoCo install instructions. They are for all the Ford vehicles so use the bookmarks to skip to the F-150. They are also generic in that they include parts (like the RMST and TPM antennas) that you don't need if you have factory remote start already (a fact which took 5 minutes of arguing with the dealer tech, until I popped the panel and dropped the glove box to show him the TPM antenna is already there.

To adjust the VSS sensitivity, pop off the driver's side IP panel by pulling out on the air vent (see page 92) and then adjust the small knob clockwise (page 94). There is also a VSS test procedure on page 95. You could buy the LED for $15 and install it yourself if you can figure out how the steering column shroud comes off. The LED just plugs into the VSS (page 93).

What's that cost a month?

The cell service for the Remote Access costs $49.99 per year. You could add the Vehicle Security without the Remote Access and have no service fee but you would not get alerts on your phone.
