I have a Ford Edge Sport 2016. I visited Ford today. My auto start climate control settings are greyed out and cannot be changed. Neither can the adaptive steering. They told me it was an update that removed those selections because they causing sync3 to freeze and lock the entire module/system.  I purchased this vehicle and all upgrades predicated on the fact that I could customize the climate with autostart; well it's one of the reasons.

I can’t speak to your exact model, but my 2015 was like that, they had to reload some software and it was fine after that.

That seems odd. From my understanding the systems are independent and do not interact nor have an impact on each other.  I would suggest going to a different dealership, or calling Ford Customer Service and get clarification.

Took mine to the dealer, they knew about it 3 hours later it worked great until I replaced the battery, now it's greyed out again and I'm in a different state....

Found this on the Forscan forum, apparently there's even a TSB that addresses the greyed out climate control menu options within remote start menu... https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11666

 

 

Turns out @WWWPerfA_ZN0W (not MACT  lol) shared this TSB previously here...

They are not the same person, each has a ton of contribution in the Ford Edge Forums.

Whoops, my bad for confusing this. 😬 Thanks for pointing out my mistake @omar302, will help for future reference indeed.

I believe it usually means that one of the doors are not closed. Possibly a door switch is going bad.

 

I just came across this FordTechMakULoco vid yesterday.  It's not directly the same problem, but Brian explains the door/hood switch issue common to our beloved Fords.  Interesting if not helpful at least.  Hope it helps someone.
