Ford Connect standard on all trims.... But...

[WuNgUn]

Not all have remote start option, or even standard. And obviously not on 7 speed.
But as far as I know, if you have the app, you can remote start your Ford.
Jeez... They REALLY need to straighten the websites out! No wonder we're looking at September...
A mess

That's silly it's not on the manuals. You can have one on a manual one just needs to keep it in neutral.

Around 2003 before the remote start option became commonplace, a buddy with a manual Mustang with 4.10 gearing remote started it while in first from far away... So, so funny with him trying to explain what remote start is to a police officer and how he wasn't actually in the car when he plowed into a car in the parking lot.

Probably the main reason why automakers won't do it. Would be too many of those "accidents" and with today's society being sue happy, automakers don't want that and won't take that chance. Add an aftermarket remote start would be your best bet for it.

Keep it in neutral? You don't drive a manual do you?

That’s how remote starts work with a manual.

Yes, I do. Subaru 6-spd. But I live in flat Texas. Why? But yes I always park in 1st with brake on.

He should have known it was in 1st so it was still his fault. Hopefully no-one was hurt. Exactly why manufactures don’t put in manual vehicles. It is to much of a liability. Most people that drive today essentially need the vehicle to drive for them. Unfortunately it is getting worse on the roads. Hate to be cinical but that’s at least how it is in northeast Ohio.

It is standard practice for driving a manual to always park the vehicle in 1st gear, not neutral. It's why you'll never see remote start in a manual transmission.

No wonder, indeed.

Aftermarket.

Doesn't Ford connect require payments to ATT after 3 years?
