Hey guys, just bought my 2016 GT a couple months ago, and got a tune recently and am now getting a check engine light due to not have cats. So now my remote start doesn't work. Does anyone who is tuned have this issue? And if so, isthere a solution?

Thanks

Ford doesn't allow remote start when you have a check engine light on or when the hood is open.

Just curious how do you pass emissions testing without cats
Depends on what emissions you have to deal with in your area. Any place with a visual inspection would be hard to trick. If it's just an obd2 test then as long as you can get all emissions monitors green you'll be good to go.

I'm not a cat person so no kitty's on this car! I'll have to do emissions later this year for the first time but shouldn't have a problem in AZ.

Interesting. Never knew that, but also never ran into the issue either... Thanks for posting!
