Just wanted to follow up here. The starter is up and running. Super easy installation. I followed the post I found here by j3st3r with the step by step and pictures and it couldn't have been easier! Also thanks to candurin for his posts on what kits I needed to look for and for answering all my questions in this thread. Thanks guys!

Excellent! Thanks for all your help and reassurance. Like I said, I installed the short range kit (the one with the integrated key) on my f150,so I understand the whole getting it turned on and programmed at the dealer thing. This one just had me a little concerned with the "PATS interface kit not included" part in the ad. Wasn't sure if I was going to need that or not. So it's all wrapped up under the tree (Christmas gift for the better half),waiting to be installed next week. If I run into any issues, I'll be sure to post them for anyone maybe looking for some info. Thanks again!

Here's a picture of what I bought. And a picture of the back of the module. I think it is listed as being for a 2011 but I seen on a ford accessories site this part # should fit a 2013 also. Just no vss. I think.

Thanks for the reply. I had bookmarked your post you linked. It was very helpful and informative! So looking at the install instructions you included,looks like I should have everything I need. I did have to buy the hood switch because for whatever reason, we didn't have one, just the wiring for it. So it looks like since I don't have the shock sensor or the cell phone start module, I just leave one end of the T harness loose and plug the other two ends to the tpms module and the remote start module. Thanks again for the reply and the links!

I think we keep finding the same things,akirby! I've been all over the Internet and I'm starting to think I'm going to end up having to install what I get, have it activated,and try it. If it's a no go, I'll assume I need the interface kit. I'm almost thinking hopefully the interface kit is needed on the older models? I can't find out what constitutes needing to bypass the PATS system. I know this plug and play model is discontinued and ford has started selling these kits by the piece, so I guess that's why I can't find a definitive answer. I was just hoping maybe someone here had installed this kit on their similar Edge and could tell me how I find out if I need the interface kit or not. Thanks for helping me search though.

Sorry. Forgot the link. Here ya go: http://m.ebay.com/itm/131741619977?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

Yeah, I thought I was onto something earlier when I found that video. But it's for an aftermarket starter. The one I bought is an actual ford plug and play kit (part #BT4Z-19G364-A). Here's a link to one like the one I bought. I'm pretty sure it plugs into the tpms module behind the left rear panel. I'm just not sure if I need this PATS bypass thingy or not. Thanks for the video link though!

I just ordered it. I was hoping to have all the parts needed ordered and received around the same time so I can just install it and go get it enabled. If it does end up needing the interface thing, I'm assuming it would have to be plugged into the remote start module and I'd like to only remove the rear cover once for the install.

Ok. I'm very sorry to start another remote start post but I've read and searched here til im about cross-eyed. I recently purchased this bi directional kit (BT4Z-19G364-A) for the wife's 2013 limited with no push button start and no powered lift gate. So, other than the hood switch, do I need anything else besides haveing it activated at the dealer? The kit says it doesn't include the PATS interface kit. Will I also need this? My apologies for the new thread but this is confusing! I put the short range kit on my f150 and it was a piece of cake! Thanks all.
