Default Ford Remote Access - Compatibility?

Anyone know if the Ford Remote Access app works with 2016 Lariat FX4 Sync 3 v3 or is this a separate app all together to make app lock / unlock / remote start work? Asked the dealer, they are clueless.

Do you have Sync Connect (this not the same as having Sync).

Thanks LoneWolf for the quick reply - probably really dumb***** answer, but I dont know, how would I know if I did? If I do not, can I add it via Forscan or is this a hardware requirement in addition to Sync 3?

The Ford Remote Access App and you will need the modules. Works fine with it, no dealer programming required

since you have a 2016 you don't have sync connect. That came in 2017+ trucks.
You need the remote access module installed into your truck in order to use the app.

Here's a thread with a lot more info on the two modules needed.

Ford Remote Access works independently of Sync, and yes, that's your only option TODAY. Ford was going to release, this past summer, a newer tool but they never did.
