[@bryanlach7380]

Man, thanks! You answered questions I couldn't find answers to!

[@Autofreakgarage]

Glad to have helped!

You made this look so easy was second guessing myself but now I’ll be ordering this for sure

[@Autofreakgarage]

It’s as easy as it looks! Very simple install and still works great today.

[@tsix8987]

Let me tell you right off the bat, the EWG will probably scare you the first WOT pull. It sounds like your exhaust manifold is going to explode! Its awesome.🙂

[@Autofreakgarage]

My body is ready.

[@chadbrown7648]

Looks like I’ll be ordering one for my 2020 f150 thanks. Will need it for this winter since my vb wrx will be in garage all winter

[@lowhooch]

awesome easy install. Does your heat work when you start? mine did not work. the radio did, but no heater?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Yes you have to go into the dash and select how you want it to turn on. Auto or last setting.

[@lowhooch]

​@@Autofreakgarageplease explain what you mean,, go into the dash,, I'm not understanding that. Thanks

[@Autofreakgarage]

The settings in the dash under my vehicle and remote start.

[@lowhooch]

​@@Autofreakgarageawesome thanks,, I'll check it out. You mean the controls on steering wheel that control the dash?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Yes

[@Keka71]

If you need to use the OBD reader, do you simply re attach the wire?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Correct

[@ayoo4117]

@@Autofreakgaragewould you need to reprogram it?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Reprogram what?

[@caucasusgeo2865]

Mine works perfectly on 2023 F150 stx,but it only starts once than it horns twice,if you try to start it second time once it’s finished .To start it again you need to turn the key on or start the truck again.And it will start again once only.Does your one do the same or it’s me who made a mistake during installation maybe!

[@Autofreakgarage]

Never had that issue on mine. Still working perfectly today for me.

[@factstology]

Do u speak english?

[@B_ran_dan]

I just installed mine yesterday and it works great but when I unlock my door and open it, I have to put the key in it INSTANTLY or it shuts off. Any ideas?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Hmm never ran into that issue. Maybe adjust the time it turns off at on the dash.

[@brandonbursey2911]

Hey Chris, love your channel since I bought my 2015 XLT last month. I just installed this and it blew the dash fuse. Have you had any issues with it since you installed it?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Sorry to hear! No issues at all. Still working perfectly. Used it this morning actually.

[@brandonbursey2911]

@@Autofreakgarage hmm okay maybe just a bad unit then. Thanks for the feedback!

[@mcsqueegee81]

What turbo are you running in the Sti? Upgraded fuel pump & injectors? Love the ti hardware on the wastegate. You could consider getting the exhaust pipes ceramic coated, along with the hotside of the turbo. Then can ditch a heatsheild, if you have that, looks nicer & the pipes too

[@flipout147]

Totally crushed that it’s not compatible for my 07 F150😭 But let’s meet up and compare sounds of our wastegate lol

[@Scott-yq1qr]

Does you climate control work when the remote start is activated? Also, does the ac/heater fan come on to the last setting or is on low or not running?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Yes, it turns on when the remote start is used. It turns heat or ac full blast depending on ambient temp. You can adjust this in the truck settings whichever way you want.

[@ridetoliveofficial693]

do you know of any STI remote start modules that are pretty decent? i've seen a fair amount of them but they honestly don't look like quality products

[@Autofreakgarage]

I haven’t looked into any for the STI. Not sure many are sold due to the manual transmission as it is a liability for the company.

[@ridetoliveofficial693]

@@Autofreakgarage damn, i'm in ontario so for the 5 months of winter i have there's usually mornings where its -25c (-13f) not super fun haha

[@arshadnizamdin673]

@@ridetoliveofficial693 I’m in Mississauga, I wonder if Japan would have something more suited for that application because if I’m correct you don’t need to clutch-in to start?

[@ridetoliveofficial693]

@@arshadnizamdin673 not gonna lie i've never tried to start with the clutch out, would be cool if there was a module from japan though, hopefully you wouldn't have to bypass a safety switch for the clutch to get it to work though.
