Engine Cool Down Feature (in conjunction with Remote Start)
In another thread (Remote Start), it was discovered that at least 2 of us have a feature enabled on our trucks to use the remote start for a "cool down" after the truck is running.
The procedure is fairly simple:
- After the truck is running, use the same process on the key fob as you would to remote start your truck (while key is still in ignition and truck is running).
- After pressing the "lock" then the 2x remote start button twice, turn the key to off and remove it.
- The truck will continue to run (we think based on the time you have the remote start set to run - 5, 10 or 15 min).
So far, we have only found the two of us who are able to do this. The first was my99duc1 (thank you for finding it!).
We'll also, for now, call this the LECD (Limited Edition Cool Down), coined by Marauder92V.
We are sure there has got to be more than 2 of us with this LECD feature, so please test it out and let us know if any of you have it as well.

I have a question....the guys that it DOES work on...Do you BOTH have Factory Navigation? Since the radio stays on in the video...that might help narrow it done some.

I took the poll as well. I have the factory navigation and I cannot get this "Limited Edition" feature to work on my truck.

Thank you Marauder92V for figuring out what to call this - LECD (Limited Edition Cool Down) 
This sounds alot better than calling it a 'favorable programming error' (FPE)
Seems like a couple trucks can, but most trucks can't. Not sure why or what variables are involved....
Mine has a build date of 4/9/10 with the only flash being the 400/800.
Here is the thread that we highjacked talking about this : https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ote-start.html
Here are a couple of videos showing how I put it back into RS mode while it is running :
In RS mode and the radio stays ON with the door closed...

no, no lockpic but I would like to get it once they get it figured out to work with the factory rear and a secondary camera.
