Remote access on a 2018?

Hi all, was wondering if anyone has installed the remote access successfully on a 2018? I was told by dealer that it was a no go and I need to wait for the smartlink.

Banner Ford

Go to the vendor section and message or call Banner Ford. Bobby there has hooked up several people with remote access (me included) and seems to be the resident expert on what will work. Hope this helps!

Kevin at Fairway Ford in Ohio is also helpful. I've done business with both Banner and Fairway for these remotes. I had much better luck getting through or getting a call returned from Kevin.
