remote start uses a different frequency than none remote start vehicles.
The battery will die just like all batteries, They are NOT meant to be taken apart but if you are careful you might be able to change a battery and then put it back together.
My use case would be that I plan on flat towing the Bronco behind my rv and use it while I camp. I usually try not to have the keys on me while camping or towing. Meaning they are likely in the RV. It never fails that I end up forgetting to get the keys when I need to get something into or out of the towed vehicle. Simply pushing a few buttons to gain access make it quick and easy. The app is easy, but not always quick especially since I don't use it very often so I would assume I would have to log back in. Obviously, cell service could also be an issue. My last towed vehicle (2020 Rubicon) I would constantly be forgetting the key, so having an option that makes it a bit more pleasant, might be worth it to me. My RV is built on a 2022 F-600 Superduty chassis and has the keypad. I use it all the time on that.
Keypad is $155
One use if people who may drive somewhere and go for a run/hike or whatever. If you do not want to carry/lose the fob, you lock it in the vehicle somewhere and use the pad. Alternatively, get one of those external magnetic boxes for under the vehicle.
Yes, this product is compatible with bronco models from 2021-2026
You don’t. You still need the fob to start the vehicle.
My dealer wanted 2 hours shop rate to install and would not honor the online installation price
I’ve had this done and the online install price honored for 3 dealers in So Cal. I think someone else on the thread confirmed this as well. Every dealer is different though (even though it shouldn’t be)
I have the factory/dealer installed keypad. My Bronco is over 4 years old and the battery still works fine. I wonder how long it will go...
