Hi Everyone!

Long time reader first time poster!

I need some advice and help, have just purchased a 2018 wild trak.

Wondering if anyone has had remote start installed onto the factory key? or know if any places they can recommend me to looking in Melbourne thanks.

Also does anyone know if a full turbo back exhaust system or a ford raptor will void the 5 year warranty?

I have been told by ford service staff that any after market mods could void engine warranty for example they had a case where a customer installed a aftermarket ford grill then had his warranty voided apparently due to air being restrict?

Many Thanks!

Keep safe everyone!

Send Stewart a PM, he owns the site (SAEB), and he will help you regarding Remote start & any others you want.
He lives in Seaford, Victoria.
Ford and most manufacturers will look for any reason to void warranty.
The mod may not outright cause a problem, but dealers may say it contributed to it, and that's all they need.
I know of one who had a turbo fail & Ford blamed the 3" exhaust so no warranty.
I know of 2 who had turbo failures because they changed the grill which according to Ford reduced/changed the air flow and the turbo over heated.
I tend to agree with Ford on that one.
