Keyless entry

I've search the threads for info. on whether or not you can make the keyless entry work while the engine is running. Does anyone know if this is possible? Why did Ford opt to disable this feature?

"Why did Ford disable this feature?"

Because they want to frustrate us, and lock us out of our rigs

I have an opinion that Ford purposely disables features so that they can be "added" to later models. For example: the 6 CD in-dash player is capable of speed-compensation volume. But Ford didn't put the wiring in the truck to utilize it. I bet it shows up in '03 as a "new feature".

Now, back to the remote keyless entry... guess what the '02 models are supposed to have! Word is that the entry system now works with the engine running. I'm not 100% sure, but that's what I've heard.
