Bi-Directional Remote Start Software Update

Bi-Directional Remote Start Software Update
I have the Bi-Directional Ford Remote Starter (factory base; dealer installed kit) in my 2011 Expy EL (with Sync - not MyKey). It has worked great all along, until I recently took it to the dealer to have it reprogrammed to run 15 mins. instead of the default 10 mins. The dealer said there was a software update and it changed the way the fob operates. Instead of pressing the button twice, you now press it once, hold it for a second or two (red light is on), then release. It beeps once and flashes green; then beeps/flashes twice to confirm start. However, it no longer gives 3 flashes/beeps when the cycle ends. It's very annoying not to have that notification. I also don't really care for holding the button instead of two presses - it's kind of sketchy and at times, doesn't seem to engage. Anyone else experienced this "software update" and/or know if there's a way to get the cycle end notifications back?
Or, does anyone have any literature on the update (new operating guide)?
Thanks!
