I searched the forums, but did not find anything on this specifically.
From page 117 of the pdf version of the owner's manual I downloaded (bolding mine):
Remotely Starting the Vehicle
Using your Phone as a Key control screen,
press and hold the start button with your
authorized phone within 131 ft (40 m) of
the vehicle.
Note: You can also use the FordPass App
to start the vehicle.
Is there a Phone as a Key app separate from the FordPass app? This same note appears in other places too. What am I missing here?
Does the remote start only work through Bluetooth (the 131 ft limit mentioned), or is it cellular modem based?
I was thinking how nice it will be to have remote start that is not dependent on being fairly close to the vehicle like my GMC and Jeep fobs require, but this sounds like it is similar, despite the phone based app.
