Need to get a key fob with remote start capability for my 2023 Big Bend

[Lincoln]

I own a 2023 Bronco Sport Big Bend with a 315 MHz key that includes only the lock, unlock, and panic buttons. The FCC ID is M3N-A2C931423. I can start my vehicle remotely using the FordPass app; therefore, I would like to purchase and pair a key fob with a remote start button. I know that I am able to easily pair key fobs on my own as I have the two factory key fobs; I just need assistance in finding the appropriate one to purchase. Below, I have included a photo of my current key fob and the one I wish to buy. Any assistance would be appreciated.

The remote start option available via the FordPass app uses a different modality than remote start via the fob. The FordPass app receives signals through the telematics modem connected to a cellular network. The fob uses a radio receiver separate from the telematics modem. Remote start via the fob requires another module that's activated by the radio receiver. That's either a factory-installed option, or you can install Ford's Perimeter Plus alarm system, which includes the remote start module. Here's my post on Perimeter Plus installation.

I would contact ford and see if you have remote key fob support before you spend the money. the ford pass and the key fob are different. just have your vin # and ask them to check and see if you buy new key fobs will it allow you to remote stat it from the key fob.
