Does that app tell you if your car is locked on the screen? Looking at the pics of the app both lock and unlock are options on the screen but I can't tell if there is a difference between the icons so that you know the status.
No it does not but you can always hit the lock icon again if you can't remember locking it.
I wish they would have a roll up/ down window icon on this thing.
I would also like to be able to go into setting and have it automatically unlock the truck after said amount of time. The way it works now is you pull out your phone unlock the phone, open the Ford App, hit the start icon, wait until that makes the connection and turns green then hit the unlock icon. It's a good system but it seems to be lacking some things that would make it better.
Something else you guys might be interested in, have you ever left your house and forget or wonder if you forgot to close the garage door ? I'm getting one of these to install, it looks pretty cool and there's no annual fee that has to be paid unlike the Ford remote start. Mobile GDO
Got it in and hooked up, it works great. I had to relocate my wireless router a little closer to it though because it was having difficulty keeping the connection because of the distance from the router. Once I did that everything was fine.
I've been waiting since July ... August ... mid October ... end of October ... dealership is still waiting with an unknown ETA. I want one for a '13 Edge and a '13 Superduty and they finally gave me a price - she said $731 CAD for parts. Pretty good I thought for both! No, each.
I got this installed today. It worked fine at first but now I can't get the lock/unlock to work. I get error code 00010030. Remote start works fine though.

My dealer didnt even know what I was talking about until I told them, and then one mechanic piped up as he walked through and said " oh yeah I've put lots of those in" I said well how much for it, installed and everything. Around 800 bucks, and then $400-$500 to install eff that, last time I go there asking to order parts. what 20 minutes to install this probably? Wanna charge me a few shop hours to do it, ahh I'll find a different dealer to do it.

How many key fobs do you have programmed to the truck? These trucks will only allow a maximum of 4 at a time. The remote access counts as a fob, so you will only be able to program 3 fobs plus the remote access.
If you happened to have 3 fobs plus the remote access, programmed to the truck and them attempted to program a 4th fob, it booted the remote access out. If you reprogram the remote access it will then boot out one of the fobs.
Do so by cycling the key 8 times (quickly) until your door locks cycle. IIRC, the locks will confirm twice (once entering programming mode, then once initializing the remote access). Then press lock on each key fob (your locks will confirm after each). Now test the remote access app.
Has anyone else looked in to this or bought over the summer? The dealer where I prefer to do business with is still inexperienced with Remote Access. It looks like it may have been slightly revised.
I want this.
I'm much less concerned with 50$ a year than the original purchase price. 50$ a year is an additional...half tank of gas?
Would be cool if they could add windows up and down too. I'm sure it could be done. Its probably all integrated into the computer anyway.
for sure window down is integrated in the vehicle since it works now off our remotes...
with doors locked, push and hold the unlock button and they come down...
On our Audi and my daughters vw, I programmed them to go up too by holding the lock button...
I rarely used it though since I had to see if it was raining, or Tyrone the Thief was standing next to it - but it was a cool feature
I might not be holding my mouth right but I just went outside and tried the hold the button down trick and it did not work on my 2014 F-350 Platinum series truck.
