Adding fordpass to 2015? Or increase remote range?

[SVTFreak]

Is there a way to increase the range on the 2015 remote for remote start? I need a little farther to reach from where I walk into change house at work so it's warmed up or cooled off when I come out. Or, is there a way to add fordpass to them easily or a way to add remote start from phone?

I believe you can add one of the Ford SmartLink plug-ons to your OBD port to give you FordPass functionality. Several hundred dollars for the device and then it needs a monthly subscription of $15 - $20 or thereabouts.

Well, that's unfortunate. Thanks.

Any one with any idea how to increase a remotes range?

Check out Ford's accessories site as I think I saw a range extender that you can buy.

This ain't no joke; Put the key-fob to your temple and push start. It doubles the range.

Seriously.

And no one knows why.

Temple acts as an higher gain antena. It is not magic.

Temple acts as an higher gain antena.

The immediately contiguous empty space acts as a resonating chamber .

Never thought it was magic. Just never gotten a scientific explanation.

I looked at this. Ford sites say it does not fit the 2015 mustang.
