* Note that the 2016+ Ford Focus RS and the 2017 Ford Escape are not compatible with the T-Harness.
** The Trunk Release/Power Liftgate connection is only required on the 2014-2015 Escape. The 2016 Ford Escape
Power Liftgate is in data.

This feature is required if only one key is available. You can program the interface without the need for Key2Go if two
keys are present.
Key2GO has been designed and developed to bypass the advanced encryption layers found in modern vehicles. It uses
an array of servers to generate a duplicate of the original key, allowing the installation of a remote starter without having to
give up a key.
The advantage is that this feature allows you to use one original key and the server to configure the bypass in the vehicle.
All Key2GO-compatible firmware are clearly indicated in the function list of each vehicle search result page and will also
appear on the flash page. Any first-time user must re-register to gain access to Key2GO, and some additional information
will be required to complete the registration process, such as your Directed account number and store name.
Key2GO is compatible with XpressVIP 4.5 or higher and requires an XKLoader.
Refer to page 16 of this guide for instructions on how to program features using Key2GO.
