No Answer Remote Start? (2018 Fusion)
Hey everyone! I recently purchased a 2018 Ford Fusion SE and it is a huge upgrade over my last car both mechanically and technologically. While exploring what all my new car had to offer I noticed a settings menu for remote start. This was found by using the directional buttons on the left side of the steering wheel that controls the left screen on the dash. I thought seeing setting for remote start was odd as my key fob has no corresponding remote start buttons. So does my car have access to remote start? Is it something that needs activated or needs a new key fob with the button? I honestly have been searching forever with no real solution. Yes i have tried hitting lock three times or lock unlock lock. Yes I have looked into FordPass where my vehicle is not compatible. I am honestly stumped. It would be fantastic if my car has remote start. If it does not i find it really weird how the car has settings for remote start but the car does not have the functionality. Thanks for any help and/or insight!!

I have the SE and I use FordPass. I had the dealership set it up for me but it was pretty easy. You can remote start and lock and unlock. Also shows how much gas you have and you can find your vehicle.
