Crap, a poll would have been a good idea. I've tried every way I can think of, but I can't add a poll now. Sorry about that!

Hey guys, I think I may solved the mystery. I have an early build 1 with limited editiion seats, lariat Ultimate with nav etc...
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. Once I followed this routine, it worked every time. Now you guys try it and someone please start a poll!

I hope ford has lots of starters in stock because if we don't get this figured out soon we will all need ours replaced!

I've tried every which way to make this work till now.
I posted this in the "Remote Start" thread:
This totally worked!!! This is great! I fallowed your formula, and the second time it worked, first time there was a little pause before getting the key out. The truck shuts off for about 1/2 a second until the key comes out then turns back on, kinda like a hick-up. I walked away, pressed the start button again to shut it off.
It seems to work best for me if I pull out slightly on the key as I turn it off, so that it is all one motion!
Thanks again Cabindoc for the formula!
