I agree with most of the above comments, I'll ignore the one by the obvious apple fan boy. It has worked on my android phone very well, when I needed it. Yes it can be sketchy when you or your truck have bad cell reception. The only way it communcates with your truck is a cell connection through the Ford servers. Yes, the connection to the truck is via ATT cell service. Inside buildings especially commercial buildings can be problimatic. I have a neice who lives in a cell dead zone, doesn’t matter what carrier, no service. It won't work there.

Why I always have hidden door key at hand!

Depends on the model, but generally yes. Mine has a 2 mile range. If installed by a good shop, should be perfectly reliable.

On the Rangers, it's just a piggy back module under the dash. Basically a plug and play.

Standard OEM fob also works as well after install so you don't lose anything.

The new compustar fobs also are a little pricier, but nicer than the old ones. Honestly, it looks like an OEM Ford part as well.

Just curious who the Apple Fan Boy is? I know I mentioned an issue with the Google Phones(only a small percentage of the Android phones all together) but I dont recall anything about Apple.

Sorry about that, it's just some people use Google and Android interchangeably. My bad, you know what they say about assuming.

I just assumed Ford Pass was satellite , ATT has me sour on it a bit , not a problem now with my current whereabouts , but if that changes...
