I have a manual, so Ford says no remote start for you. Sure would be nice to remote or schedule start when leaving work. Especially in Summer when it's 118 out and thus 140+ inside the car.

I've found that simply remotely rolling down the windows of my GTI, and also remotely opening the sunroof (one push of the unlock button), does a phenomenal job of getting that superheated air out of the car before I get in. I presume the same will hold for the Bronco.
Yup, use the hold unlock button down for 7 seconds to roll down the windows every day. Also very common here in Phoenix to leave the windows down an inch as well.
When I had my drop top Mustang I would open the top, then close it again to get all the hot air out.
I schedule a start 5-10 minutes before quitting time in the winter because I'm too far away for the fob to work. Also when I carpool and my truck is sitting in the parking lot, I don't have to get into a vehicle that can be as cold as -20. This was a very important option for me. I love this feature.

This has been an argument since I installed my 1st remote start in 1989. Everybody wanted it on a stick shift. Trust me, things fail and no matter how many sensors you put on a manual it is still a dangerous scenario that no automotive manufacture is willing to touch. You may be willing to sign a waiver in case it kills somebody, but any lawyer is gonna say nope.

An automatic has the same types of sensors to determine that it is in park before you can start it, so I call BS on that excuse.
If you think the sensors needed for an automatic are the same as needed for a manual then you need to learn more about mechanics. I'd say if you call B.S. then there is a perfect opportunity for you to sell a remote start for manuals and make a fortune.
BTW, does a manual have a park gear ?

I'm an electronics technician by trade, so yes, I call BS. You think your Bronco just magically knows when it is in Park, I guess? It uses a sensor/switch to determine that it is in Park. It also use a sensor to detect that my Bronco is in Neutral.

What sensor does it use to determine your Bronco is in park ?
I hope you better understand the electronics you work on

Ah the "final word" from someone who has nothing to back up anything they're saying, thanks for participating., lol. I'm outta here. It's like arguing with a flat earther
Transmission Range sensor determines park for auto
Gear shift position sensor determines neutral for manual
