- 2016 Ford Explorer
Hello All. I have a 2016 Ford Explorer that has the long range, one-way key fob for remote start from Ford. This works fine with the exception of the climate control. The setting under remote start-climate control is grayed out. This menu location is were you can choose remember my last setting our automatic control. I don't like automatic which apparently is default since it just sets the cabin temperature to 72 F. This doesn't work well on very cold days. I was told by a ford rep that unless the vehicle was ordered from the factory with remote start then remembering the climate control is disabled and will never work. This seems silly to me since I would think this is the main reason for having remote start. Essentially I took this as all aftermarket (even ford since that's what I have) is worthless. Has anyone got this to work otherwise?
