I traded in my 2013 taurus 2.0L ecoboost for a 2018 v6 sel in February, got 6500 in rebates and a good trade in.
The only issue I have is the remote start distance is a lot shorter than my old car.
Its like 30 feet, I found on Ford's web page for a 2017 taurus says 300 feet.
I see there's a long range antenna for $30 and a one way fob for $40.
Anybody put in the long range remote start?
Where's the Vehicle security and remote start module at?
I put one in my 2014 f150 a year ago, is under drivers side dash. Added long range antenna, one way fob, starts every time several hundred feet away. Got it from Fairway ford ebay site.
Thanks,
Jerry
On accessories.ford.com for 2018 taurus
Antenna kit long range JS7Z-15603-A $30
It looks like a tape antenna, probably mount below rear view mirror on windshield.
Key fob, 2 piece set JS7Z-15K601-C
looks like one way remote start.
For a 2017 taurus it calls out
Key fob DS7Z-15K601-F $30
looks like the fob I use on my 2014 f150
Works great!
Not sure why ford calls out different cobs for 17 and 18 taurus, but they might work for both.
I'm thinking about trying the $30 JS7Z-15603-A antenna and $40 DS7Z-15K601-F fob.
Remote start and keyless entry features work off the same antenna--I'd be going back to my dealer to make sure there's not an issue with the module before shotgunning antennas and what not at it.
Jmr061,
I thought the taurus sel had the Vss module since it has remote start, and the perimeter alarm? Maybe I'm wrong...
Yesterday I changed the key fob battery for the second time, original was a Panasonic, I bought a new rayovac, same as the original, so yesterday put in a energizer, only tried it once, from my living room it worked. Which is a improvement! I heard the original batteries don't cut it. Anybody else find a battery brand for the Cr2032 that works better in the fobs?
Hi, here's the Levitown ford description of vechicle security / remote start module,JL1Z19A361A. $189.
I guess I need this one to complete the long range remote start upgrade.
