JonV Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Just picked up a 2018 Edge Titanium on Friday. The car did not come with remote start so the Ford dealer added it. It uses the long range Ford key fob. I am able to remote start the car numerous times with the stock key fob by pressing lock unlock lock. I can also use the long range key fob to remote start the car by pressing and holding the little Ford key fob. However if I shut off the car using the key fob and then attempt to restart it, the car starts, the alarm sounds and the car shuts off. i've tried this numerous time, it appears that using the long range remote start, I can only start the car one time. Any suggestions? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyE Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hey Jon, Just braims storming here, but my guess is using the aftermarket fob twice is triggering something inside the vehicle's anti-theft. It's thinks someone is attempting to steal the car. Might ask the dealer/installer about that. In the meantime ... just how far away do you need to start your car? ? 1000 feet is longer than 3 football fields. That's a long walk. Car ought to be plenty warm or cold by the time you got there, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonV Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 We really just wanted remote start, no so much long range remote start. Just concerned there is a bigger issue?? Did email the dealer and will call them on Monday to see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
