One in nearly 2 years of having it. All other alerts have been when the alarm was triggered, almost all of them my wife doing something around the truck and setting it off.

You can set up the app to alert you if the alarm is triggered. I have mine set to send a text message to my phone, and it will tell me if it was the shock sensor triggered or a door opened. Usually I get the text in about 5 seconds after the alarm starts going crazy, so it's pretty quick.
Another feature is that when you click the remote start button, you'll see a countdown timer. If you hit the button again, it will double your run time. Something you can't do with the key remote start or with the long range fobs, as you have to wait for the truck to run through the full time before you can remote start again. This is good for those who want to extend the run time of the factory remote start to go for as long as 30 minutes (instead of the factory maximum 15 minutes).

In reply to your bottom statement, you actually can do that with the key fob. See page 60 of the owners manual.
Bottom paragraph."
To remote start your vehicle:
1. Press the lock button.
2. Press the remote start button twice.
The exterior lamps flash twice.
The horn sounds if the system fails to start,
unless quiet start is on. Quiet start runs the
blower fan at a slower speed to reduce
noise. You can switch it on or off in the
information display. See General
Information (page 111).
Note: If you do not follow this sequence,
your vehicle does not start remotely, the
direction indicators do not flash twice and
the horn does not sound.
Note: If you remote start your vehicle with
an integrated keyhead transmitter, you must
switch on the ignition before driving your
vehicle. If you remote start your vehicle with
an intelligent access transmitter, you must
press the push button ignition switch on the
instrument panel once while applying the
brake pedal before driving your vehicle.
The power windows do not work during
remote start and the radio does not turn
on automatically.
The parking lamps remain on and your
vehicle runs for 5, 10 or 15 minutes
depending on the setting.
Extending the Engine Running Time
To extend the engine running time duration
of your vehicle during remote start, repeat
steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running.
If the duration is set to 10 minutes, the
duration extends by another 10 minutes.
For example, if your vehicle had been
running from the first remote start for 5
minutes, your vehicle continues to run now
for a total of 20 minutes. You can extend
the remote start up to a maximum of 35
minutes.

Is it possible to have Remote Access without Remote start? I have been reading this and other threads about remote access and it is still not clear. I leave my truck in some remote parking lots while fishing and would appreciate a text if someone is breaking in.

Remote access vs new SmartLink ?
I just read this press release from Ford that an OBDII plug-in call SmartLink this summer will enable remote access with a 4G plan on a Verizon network...
https://media.ford.com/content/fordm...-features.html
It seems like this could surpass the current Remote Access option. But it doesn't say anything about an enhance vehicle alarm or Ford Perimeter Plus.
Stay tuned for more and possible roll-out this summer.

Previously, on the Ford website, it said the remote access module required the enhanced security module. Now, when I look at the Ford accessory website, the part number for the remote access module has changed and it no longer says another module is required. The according to the info in this thread, the remote access module had to be plugged into the enhanced security module. Can anyone confirm if the new remote access module has a different plug that allows it to connect to the truck without the enhanced security module?

Are these the correct new part numbers for this system? I contacted the Dealer listed in the ebay link at the beginning of this tread and they don't sell those part numbers anymore.
Remote Access: RS-RemAccess-C
Enhanced Security: FT4Z-19A361-A

Technically these will work for the 18's, however Ford won't warranty if there's a problem. New VSS modules and remote start systems have been released for all the 18 MY Fords. Remote Access will not be a part of the new systems moving forward. Those currently with Remote Access will still retain functionality since it's a 3rd party and not Ford that hosts the service.

**EDIT** I found the parts from a Ford Dealer that had them in stock

Dealerships can still get them as there's remaining inventory around the country. Just no new units will be manufactured and once the inventory is gone they are done.
