Every Ford vehicle equipped with FordPass Connect should be able to be remote started via FordPass app on your smartphone. Even those that do not remote start capability on the key fob.
So, for instance, a Bronco Sport Base or Big Bend without Remote Start button on the key fob can be remote started via the app.

Sorry I have the BigBend model and I took a screenshot when I open the app, and it’s there.

Osco,
Sync doesnt use your wifi router for remote starting, it uses your phones cell signal with the Ford Pass app.
Sync does use wifi (your network/router) for updates if you have it enabled.

Ok then can you explain why, when it fails to start via the app I go out and find it’s not connected to my Wi-Fi ?
There is no LTE network signal at my house, only my wifi.
oh and I can go a week or two all the while staying logged in then suddenly it won’t log in but I can do it manually as I see it in the wifi list all the time.
Still confused.
Btw without fail it logs onto the Wi-Fi at work, never misses there.
My signal at home is more powerful and far faster,,, I need a geek I think. :,P

Sync and Ford Pass use the AT&T (wireless) network to transmit and receive data, if you have poor AT&T coverage where you live you may have little to no service, and that is possibly why remote start is not working consistently from your home.
Sync uses your home wifi or whatever wifi you connect to so it can receive updates.

I installed an aftermarket remote starter on my girlfriend's 17 fusion. It just plugged into the back of the OBDII port and used the factory fob to start. Just push lock, unlock, lock to start. Why couldn't there be some button combination on the fob without the start button.
