So far I am very happy with my RemoteStartX:

https://remotestartx.com/vehicle/20...tart-remote-starter-no-honk-lock-unlock-lock/

It installed easily and has worked flawlessly for several weeks now. About a 5 second delay from hitting the key fob and the heater kicks in after about 5 mins.

I got quickly fed up with the FordPass remote start - rarely would hook up and then forced a key start if I didn't drive the truck for 24 hours - haven't gone back to FP since and don't really plan to do so except to spend the points from buying the truck.

The app definitely needs some work. I only drive the Ranger on the weekends as I work from home, I have a scheduled start for midweek (Tue 8am) but very rarely does it do it, and there's maybe a 20% chance the truck will start if I try with the app, the Start-X has been rock solid.
