Remote start from phone?

[Chris 920]

I love my truck so far. However, the last couple of days the remote start from my phone hasn't been working on my hybrid. Is -5 with -25 wind chills too cold for the starter to work? It did work at first. I did uninstall and reinstall the app on my phone. Any insight would be greatly.appreciated.

My MY22 XL Eco, has worked in the (-) degree weather, the last three days..
Is the app, telling you it did not start?
I slide the "virtual" button to the right and then it starts to spin.. After 5-6 seconds, it changed to "vehicle on".
Yours does not?

It slides across and spins for some time. Then, just turns off. The vehicle does not start at all.

OK,
Have you done this, standing next to the Mav.
What I'm saying is, has the truck responded to your request? (marker/running lights come on?).
Is this a App issue OR a truck issue??

But, the truck WILL Start with the Key ?

I have done it standing right next to it, so it's not a distance issue. It starts just fine with the key.

OK,
Is your phone still linked (wifi) to the truck?
Theres a signal loss, somewhere...
And you have reloaded the App... as you stated.

Phones' not talk-in to the truck..
Anyone else? Have any ideas?

Edit: I did a online search....
If your Ford Pass app's remote start feature suddenly stopped working, it could be due to several reasons including: a weak vehicle battery, a faulty connection with the cellular network, an outdated Ford Pass app, issues with your vehicle's settings, or too many recent remote start attempts; try checking your vehicle's settings within the app, updating the app, restarting your phone, ensuring your vehicle is properly connected to the network, and checking for any open doors or alerts on the app.

Key things to check:

• App updates: Make sure you have the latest version of the Ford Pass app on your phone.
  
  
• Vehicle settings: Check that remote start is enabled in your vehicle's settings through the infotainment system.
  
  
• Cellular connection: Ensure your vehicle has a strong cellular signal.
  
  
• Battery level: Check if your vehicle's battery is sufficiently charged.
  
  
• Door status: Verify all doors are closed and the vehicle is in park.
  
  
• Recent attempts: If you've tried remote starting too many times recently, wait a bit before trying again.
  
  
• App issues: Try restarting your phone and force-closing the Ford Pass app.

I've had my 25 lariat Awd hybrid for about a month. The app on my phone started the maverick the first 3-4 time. One morning the app would just spin. Waited. Restarted phone. Nothing. So, I stopped using the app for a day or two and then thought to update the app and now I'm back in business. Samsung s23 ultra. UI version 6.1. Android version 14. Ford Pass Version: 5.10.1. Don't know about iPhone users. I honestly don't know if updating the app did the trick or if something else got it all working. Update your app if you haven't. It's worth the 2 minutes it takes to find and install the update. Good luck.

I restarted my phone this morning and the remote start worked. Although, it is up to a balmy 6 degrees here in WI this am.

Mine worked fine last night when it was close to zero.
