FORD 2011 Edge v.3 - Manual (Page 118)

The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a non
Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do NOT
make MyKey
௡ compatible with non Ford-approved remote start systems,
but it MAY help you to retain some MyKey
௡ functions.
Vehicles equipped with traditional keys:
When using a non Ford-approved remote start system, the default
settings may recognize the remote start system as an additional admin
key with its associated privileges. This makes it NOT compatible with
MyKey
௡. The following action may help you to retain some MyKey௡
functions:
1. Restart the engine when you insert a key into the ignition cylinder.
2. In addition to the key that you have already programmed as a
MyKey
௡, owners of vehicles equipped with traditional keys may want to
program the non Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey
௡ if the
remote start fob is used by the MyKey driver.
To program a non Ford-approved remote start system as MyKey
௡, do the
following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using a non Ford-approved remote start fob.
3. Follow steps 1-4 in the Create a MyKey
௡ section.
Vehicles equipped with an intelligent access key (push button
start)
• It is not possible to program any remote start system as MyKey௡ on
vehicles equipped with intelligent access key (push button start).
Therefore, you should treat the remote start fob as you would any
other admin key. When the vehicle is started using remote start, the
system will stall the engine when you either enter the vehicle or shift
the vehicle into gear. Prior to the engine stall, the vehicle will have
administrative privileges. When you restart the engine, the vehicle will
identify the user as an admin or MyKey
௡ drive depending on the
settings of the actual key used to start the vehicle.
Note: For all vehicles, the number of MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or
ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED that is displayed in the MyKey
௡ system
status menus will include the non Ford-approved remote start system as
an additional key in the total count. See the Check MyKey
௡ system
status section.
