Question about Key/Remote Start

On our F-150, the keyfob can be linked to a memory seat number, so everytime you unlock the truck everything adjusts to that profile...can you do that with the new Super Duty's? And I am assuming when you remote start the truck, it waits for the glow plugs to heat up and the light to go out..is this true?

Yes, and you can assign limits to the keys as well. Limit audio output, speed limits etc.

It does automatically take in account for the glow plugs to warm up but its gotta be well below 0 before that happens. Its been down to 5 here in Colorado and the truck fired up just as fast as if was 85 remote start or not.

The remote start has been great. I just wish there was not a time limit on it. Or at least make it a half hour.

Are the key fobs # on the SD's?

With my wife's Lincoln MKX the two fobs are numbered, some settings are tied to the fob.
Works great until she can't find her key and uses mine, resetting my seat memory and a few other things.
