Remote start app/alarm

I had the alarm installed yesterday and activated the sim etc., but this is all that shows up on the remote start app. Does anyone know where all the other buttons/options are?

Does your phone need to be updated?
Or try uninstalling the app and restart it.

Thank you for the response. It's fully updated and I deleted and re-installed the app twice. No fix.

I did that that as well. After I activate the sim, do I have to wait a certain period of time for things to kick in so it works? Or is it instantly supposed to work?

Did you set up your Remote Access account and pay the $49 subscription fee? The description seems to indicate you need that as well, but it's not very clear.

The truck needs a modem installed, special harnesses, and configuration, it's only available from factory. You have to use the remote start FOB. It also can't report to FordPass, odometer, fuel tank status, warning lights ect without the modem. This is available on many other fords, Lincolns, but not on a SD as yet that I am aware.

For sure let us know how you make out on this one. I for one would sure love the extra features in mine. If there was a way to make it work, even better.

Can you install the app on a tablet or on someone else's phone just to see how the app reacts with your account.

The app doesn't work on a tablet only phone. I tried on my brothers phone and had the same results.

I will give an update once I take it back to the dealer tomorrow.

Are you using IOS or Android? I have it installed on my Android phone and my Android tablet and both work great with all four options.
