Disable accessory mode shutoff?

The Mrs. and I went to a drive-in with our truck last night, setting up an air mattress in the bed and watching the movie under the stars. It was great.

EXCEPT

Damned Ford kept shutting the truck off when in accessory mode. The movie audio is broadcast over a low-power FM station on prem, but every 30 minutes I had to crawl out of the bed and go turn accessory mode back on. This also caused the headlights to briefly turn on and blind the poor folks behind me.

How do I go about disabling this “feature”?

It can be changed to a longer length before timeout by using ForScan. 60 minutes might be the longest option.
