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.
