TNT Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hi All, I'm new to the form and new to my 2018 Ford Edge Titanium! Love the car but have run into some frustration trying to enable FordPass Connect to remote start my car from my phone. I've downloaded the app, disabled Apple CarPlay, added my car, opened the FordPass App, but it's not showing the pop-up that "Allows" your phone to connect. I'm beginning to wonder if my car has the FordPass Connect modem. I see that its standard on 2019 Edge Titaniums, but can't find anywhere that shows if it comes with 2018s. Or maybe I'm not connecting it right. Any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyxbfly Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 As far as I am aware SmartConnect is available for 19+ Edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laupetre Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Most likely not. Check if you have the modem in the SYNC settings. if you do you will see a serial number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does 'not' come standard on 2018 models according to Ford's 'FordPass' page: https://owner.ford.com/fordpass/fordpass-sync-connect.html It's my understanding owners of many '17 and later Ford vehicles can purchase the system separately from your Ford dealer. I'm attaching a Monroney sticker from a '19 Edge so you can see where it would be noted on your '18 if you had it (it's in red): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 The first year for SYNC Connect on the Ford Edge was 2019. There is currently no official Ford add on for cellular based remote start for your 18 Edge. If you find information pertaining to SmartLink it has been discontinued and is NLA.
