I would have sworn that my '17 SEL didn't have a hood switch; I couldn't see any wires anywhere near the latch. The dash did not warn me hood was open. I turned the setting in FORScan to 'yes' it does have a hood switch, and then forgot about it.
The other day I was playing around with it. My Edge was running on remote start; I opened the hood and the engine turned off. I just went out and checked it now before posting this. The dash does tell me the hood is open now.
I first tried to do a "factory" install on my '17. I bought a new fob and then when it wouldn't program I realized that they are different frequencies.

Right: FCC: M3N-A2C931426, PN: 164-R8182 Freq: 902
I ended up adding an aftermarket module where you have to press the lock button 3 times.

I have the same story as Guest Joed, except I purchased a 4 button remote as pictured. I just noticed the frequencies and realize that I am out of luck going this route. I guess I have to buy the add on module?
