Davidg716 Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 My 2017 edge did not come with the package that included remote start but after poking around under the dash I found that it had a remote start module installed. It's it possible to activate this with forscan and use the fobs that came with the car using lock, unlock, lock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 What module did you find under the dash? Gotta know the hardware you have first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy ft4j-19g367-aa He has a t-harness that is connecting him to the obd controller behind the steering wheel where you connect an aftermarket system like 12volt solutions. I'm assuming this is also what keeps setting off my alarm, I see there is a sensitivity adjustment knob on it that I need to turn down...

jmr061 Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Yup that is the VSS or Vehicle Secirity System that has a built in shock sensor. It only allows remote start if there is an antenna plugged into it (should be mounted on the windshield) and then a seperate remote start only fob is used. So you would have two fobs, the remote start and the oem keyless. https://accessories.ford.com/vehicles/edge/2017.html?cat=391 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lessm723 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Get a remote start from Start-X. I just purchased one on Amazon and install was literally under a minute. It plugs into your OBD. Lock unlock Lock and she starts right up. I do not know long term reliability but I'm happy so far. https://www.amazon.com/Start-X-2015-2019-Expedition-Installation-Required/dp/B07XMF4SYG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
