  1. Candurim and all. Thanks for the help. I purchased the bluetooth adapter and used the FORscan software and was able to enable the hood pin. My remote start is now working. In case anyone else is looking to do this, an extended license (not standard) is needed and can easily be requested from the FORscan forums. Once you launch the application, you need to read the bdycm (Body control module) and not the as built one. The list will say "Hood pin" is not present. Just change it to present then write. That was so simple. I will grab some screenshots once I have chance. Thanks again Bert
  2. Candurin, Thanks for the info. I'm very tech savvy and have worked on my previous car so I feel comfortable with what you mentioned. Thats the great thing about these forums. Just ordered the scan tool and hopefully will have this up and running by the weekend. As for the FORscan, is it the one in the below link? Reason I ask is because its still in beta for Windows, or should that not be an issue? http://www.forscan.org/download.html You mentioned this scan tool works for other modifications. What else can I use that would benefit me or that the factory disables in which I can enable and use. Thanks
  3. I have the base SE model and I don't think the factory hood pin switch is installed. If I open the hood, no warnings on the cluster come on. At this point I have 3 options; 1. wait for Viper to release some type of update that will bypass the factory hood pin.(which I dont think is going to happen) 2. Have the hoodpin enabled by the dealer (I tried this at my local dealer, and they said there is no option for this) 3. Have the remote start removed (which looks like the likely option) Ill try your suggestion candurin, but when I try to remote start the car now with the hood closed, the dash lights flicker, and thats it. Thanks again.
  4. Gotcha. I was just doing some more research and could add a cut off switch for the hood pin under the dash. Anyone know how I can do this? I would prefer not to go back to the place that installed the remote start and have it removed.
  5. Hello all. Newbie here and looking for some direction in regards to a remote start. I have a 2017 Ford Edge SE with OEM alarm but no remote start. I had a local shop install a Viper alarm for me, and when I picked up my car, I was told that the factory hood pin/switch needs to be enabled by the dealer. Went to the dealer this morning to have this enabled, but the foreman or service tech told me there is no enable option for these trucks. Only an on/off or open/close. I tested to see if when the hood opens if a message appears on my dash, and nothing. I will be going back to the place that installed my remote start and have it removed but I have 2 questions. 1. Is there a way to enable the hood pin from Ford? 2. Is there a remote start that works without this hood pin? Thanks in advace
