It is very odd that so far only 2 of us can use this function. And just FYI, I don't have the high idle mod, so it's not related to that. Maybe we should start a new thread titled "Cool Down Feature" or something like that to get more members to read and respond.

I already knew about the "Remote Start" but just happened to venture on in here and give it a read....
I think if more people would read about it we would find out more people can do this.
I'll start a new thread/poll and i will upload a new video and the old one.
I am off work today and got the camera all charged up so I will go out and try to make a video of how it will and wont work.
Hopefully it doesn't upset the mods or others but I would guess we have more than 2 trucks out there that can do this.
but will either of us still have it next time we have to go to the dealer and they flash the computer.....

Like others have said, some vehicles can and are supposed to do this... and these trucks abviously can too.
I think alot of guys would like to have the option to do this and I would like to keep it
I like the "LECD".... I am going to steal it and use it.

I tried the cool down a couple different ways today and all I got was the horn honk and the engine shutting off using the "original" method (door open, engine running, lock+2x engine, turn off key and pull out).
Skipping the lock button and going to the two engine button hits didn't do anything. I thought maybe since the truck was already running just hitting the two engine buttons might work but no luck.
This would be neat to get to work though....

This is what I posted in the cool down thread; 
I think it is the timing....
I have an early build 1 with limited editiion seats, lariat Ultimate with nav etc...and yes, lock pick.
At first when I tried this, it didnt work. Then today when I went out, I tried it again and it worked! So, I thought it had to do with driving over a certain speed. NOT. I got home and tried it again once I got to the driveway and it did not work. So I sat in the driveway for 30 minutes experimenting and this is what I discovered;
Doesnt mater if you drove or put your foot on the brake or touched the gearshift lever.
truck is running, open door or dont, get out, or dont doesnt matter.
make sure you put the key unto the ignition so you can see the buttons.

- hit lock once, hold for 1 mississippi and release.
- hit start twice and hold for a mississippi each and release
- Immediately after your thumb leaves the button after the second release, pull the key out fast. Like your supposed to swipe a credit card.

I can get it to work 30 percent of the time..kinda weird.I tird Emergency break....everything,,it all depends on the timing of thr key pull and how long you hold the lock button...just can't quite perfect it yet.

Not yet, still trying... 
I did get a delayed honk at one point but I haven't spent as much time on it as I've been wanting to.
