Remote start

[Jradionyc]

Not sure if I can.
but I have 2022 badlands 2.3 manual high package.
would like to have remote start installed and use through ford APP. Ford accessories said to get perimeter plus but dealer wants to charge 300 in labor. Wtf!
also seen that perimeter plus will not work on manual.
many one have manual and install remote start?

I would be amazed if a dealer would want the liability of installing it on a manual...

There is no Ford-approved method to install a remote start system in a manual transmission vehicle. If you want a remote start, it'll have to be third party, or you'll have to do some manual hacking in Forscan and some disabling of cutoff switches.

Also you don't need the perimeter alarm system for remote start on the Bronco. The necessary hardware is included in the Mid package. I completely understand why the dealer mentioned the perimeter alarm system, as that is what is needed in many other Ford vehicles (such as the Transit), but that's not the case in the Bronco.

Just add a hydraulic clutch to depress the clutch so the car can start in gear.... just better hope your E brake is on holding the car in place as it may roll down the hill during this process.
That is why remote start is not offered on manual cars.
