Ok

Maybe? The biggest question will be if Ford will activate it and allow you to access the functions through FordPass being a hybrid vehicle. They only ever included the TCU on Energi models, not hybrids. And their servers upstream will be the final decision maker if it is possible based on your VIN. The TCU's themselves have programming parameters for hybrid vehicles though so everything up to Ford's servers should, in theory, be possible. I don't think anyone has ever confirmed it being possible.   As far as the car itself responding to the remote start commands from the TCU, that again is a theory but it should work if you have the proper remote start functions in Forscan enabled. It's about the same if you went to an aftermarket CAN based remote start unit.   If you do try it, definitely keep us all updated how it works for you. Would be nice to know if it is possible for hybrid vehicles.

I would focus on the electrical problem first.  You said "Seat has absolutely no power. Checked with volt meter etc. " Once you get power to the seat & motors you can see if the if the track has a problem.   Good Luck!

Yeah the park assist was only sparked because when I was in the salvage yard there was a 2013 escape that  was loaded from the factory and the module was still there. I checked my cmax and i dont have the front sensors so I am probably out on the park assist. So could I add a tcu to the vehicle and start the vehicle with the app?

You may be able to disable the park sensors permanently through Forscan but I'm not sure of where to find that. It wouldn't be an easy menu toggle or button in vehicle. Stock you can disable it temporarily with the button on the dash under the HVAC controls and it'll remain off for the remainder of that drive. But next vehicle start it will re-enable. No way to change this specific operation.   For the Sync issues, always start by checking for any updates and making sure it is fully up to date. The old Sync 2/MyFord Touch systems got pretty much everything sorted by their final EOL update (3.10). And just as a personal anecdote having hitch mounted accessories on a road trip back when I still had Sync 2 installed in my 2013, there were never any issues like this that I experienced.   Here's Ford's site that can help you check for and apply updates: https://www.ford.com/support/sync-maps-updates/ Also if you haven't already done so, a master reset is a good thing to try. If you have updates to apply, it's also recommended to reset after those are applied as well.   Upgrading to Sync 3 will not be possible through a dealer. They will always tell you no because Ford doesn't support or sanction that. It has to be done DIY.

Cant really comment on the remote start topic but I've never seen anyone who was successful adding the factory RS option if it was not equipped across Ford models. Only some Explorer models seem to be the anomaly here. May just be easier adding an aftermarket remote start module.   For the park assist, you'll need more than just the module if the vehicle didn't already have it. You'd need to make sure you have all front and rear parking sensors. You'd also need new ABS sensors. Vehicles without park assist only had unidirectional ABS sensors. Park assist requires bidirectional sensors. There may be other pieces as well. Those are just the ones I'm immediately aware of.

Sounds electrical, maybe motor. lots of repair shops can work on problems like this.  Call and ask them.

What kind of shop? Any repair shop even though they may not know anything about ford? oh. Absolutely nothing happens when pushing buttons. No noise either. Just nothing.  My back hurts so much I can’t drive it anymore unless emergency. Like getting food. 😞. 

Blown fuse. Tried another. Seat has absolutely no power. Checked with volt meter etc. motors are bad techs say at Bowen scarf.  But is the track the only thing I need? So I’m ok to get a track only? I know no one can know without looking. But just curious.
