Adding remote start to newer car?

[sofa king]

If I try to add a remote start to a newer car(2014), how many key chains and remotes would i have to carry around?
A 2014 focus, key has buttons on it for lock unlock and trunk...
I like the one key with all buttons, but I don't like to have a pocket full of keys and remotes and crap like that.

On my f-250 the dealer added the remote start to it. I have one extra fob with one button. It's small enough you don't notice it and works from a long distance. Might be worth looking into.

The new Fords with add on remote starts from the dealer are pretty nice. Usually they're small single button fobs and all wiring/module is plug and play with a brief programming procedure. The old dealer installed starters required some splicing (not a fan) and most current aftermarkets still do. Personally, I would avoid all aftermarket solutions and stick the with Ford accessory.

What kind of car is it? I can retrofit factory remote start to basically anything GM makes or has made.

EDIT: I am a dumbass and missed the obvious 2014 focus ROFL Sorry!

That's what I am after, no cutting or splicing.
I can get this at the stealership?

I was looking at expresskit.com they have plug and play units that use the key fob to start, not too pricy either.

i have this installed on my truck
the ford remote start range sucks but you can add the drone to any remote start. and as long as you have cellular service you can start your car from anywhere

dei (viper.python) has a similar app based starter solution.

You should be able to. I looked it up for my 14 ST but it is not applicable to a stick shift car so I never went as far to call the dealer to see if they had any.

You can literally install it yourself. Disconnect the DLC (which is now a module as of 2012/2013) plug in the inline harness/remote start module. Secure it up in the dash somewhere away from the steering column. I'd have to look up the programming procedure but I am positive its a few minutes worth of pressing buttons and its done.

That would be helpful!
Thanks for the info...

Curious if anyone on the forum can do this, or has done?
Trying to figure out how to do...

My father-in-law had remote start added at the dealership on his 2014 F150. They gave him a new key fob with an additional button for the remote start. Give Varsity parts a call and see if they offer the same for the Focus.
