Can someone point me to a discussion link or video of how to remove the rear interior panels to have access to the TPM module etc. for a 2013 Edge? Thanks

JoeyAlex - I just did same thing but added one more step I added the VSS( security box) and the RMU that plugs into VSS. I have the Security system functioning ( simple install) but not the remote start yet. That box and VSS is super simple to install. If you need to program the car your dealer I am told can do it with IDS for a fee or buy a ELM OBDII cable from Amazon for 25 and download the FORScan software and extended license.. I made changes to my explorer very simply with it once I got the right cable and extended license. If you are computer savy at all it should not be to overwhelming.

Thanks guys..YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME and generous with information and it is greatly appreciated. Yes Benny has been working with me. Honestly he doesn't understand why we need the TPM antenna as we are installing the RMU/VSS with OBDII T cable kit etc. This is for cellular access only and not key fob as they are limited distance. ( I.e. RMST) Benny has had many folks install I guess this is a first that has not had the TPM antenna. Crazy as it is.. So we have ordered it and hope it will enable the Remote start option to show up in Forscan as of now it does not. One more question. I have installed the Hood Switch and hooked up the factory wiring that was in truck already. Do you guys know if I have to go into FORscan anywhere and enable the hood switch. I have done the VSS learning with car already. The instructions specific to the edge do not call out any activation of the switch.. BTW the RMU is already activated by Benny only function is the remote start that hasnt been activated it.. THANKS again!

So TPM antenna kit is required ( RMST antenna kit is different and NOT needed correct ?) . SO if we plug in the antenna to the TPMS on this 13 edge it will enable the start function ( even though we don't have rmst) ? Interesting. THANKS gents I will look it up and see what we do... Is the TPMS in back left rear panel ?

Hello, I am attempting to add the RMU to my 2013 Ford Edge. I do not have factory remote start but wanted RMU. I purchased the kit from my friend Benny at Levitown. I had to add the hood switch ( factory cable prsent so easy plug in and hole was present) and also of course the VSS and RMU boxes with T cable. Here is THE PROBLEM: The Dealer said I have to install the antenna cable for remote start or he cannot turn on the Remote start in IDS. He said he gets a warning and he won't bypass it.. I tried using FORScan.. I can communicate and see the BodyControl module doesnt even show enable remote start as an option. I have FS extended license and I know the tool works as I have used it with my 15 exp sport to change options. Questions: Does the hood switch have anything to do with the BCM showing options etc.? Do I have to do anything to enable the hoodswitch and if so where? Is IDS at a dealer the only way to fix this? Can a ford Tech check the hood switch? NOTE.. the RMU and VSS operate normally otherwise as i can lock and unlock and locate the car as the RMU is activated and operational through Cell. I appreciate any and all input. I am at witttttttts end ... it is very cold in upstate NY and we want to use this during winter as this is why we purchased. Id love to talk to one of you experienced folks if you'd be willing.
