JUST PURCHASED a 2010 f150 supercrew 6.5ft bed 4x4 xlt 5.4 3.73 gears i so far like the truck 2 days old now it has remote start as soon as u open the door the motor kills it has a traditional key not my key dealer said this the way it works but owerner manual said it is a default setting and to turn this option off see dealer this is on page 6 ofowners manual for the remote start small white book i traded my 05 superduty with powercode remote start and it didnt work this way u started entered vehicle put key in and turned it and drove away unless u stepped on brake without key in and it killed truck if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know r a dealership that is capable of doing it so my dealership can learn from them they also said ford wired it this way on the expeditions also and they called the hotline and said ford wired it wrong something doesnt sound right but so far i like the truck

 

that setting can be changed in the programming options for the remote start system. There are new instructions out for the Mykey change here, just sign up for a username on this website and click Ford on the menu bar: Code Systems Tech Services

(EDIT: I posted direct links to programming files on page 2 of this thread, no need to sign up on the Code Systems website if you don't want to)

Code Systems (Code Alarm) is the company that make the Ford systems. On that webpage is all of the technical install manuals for the Ford systems under the Ford menu tab like I said.

If you have just the single 1-button remote start, then you want to check out the file named PROGRAMMING - GEN2 BRONZE WITH OR WITHOUT "MYKEY" to change the setting, it's option bank 2, option 7.

 

STEVEthanks for the info i will try this before i got your reply i went to just ask .com paid $9 to speak to a ford rep and they said it cannot be changed that this is the way powercode set it up which is dumb i sure hope u r right and i will try it thanks very much for the info will let u know how it works out

 

no problem. I'm certainly no expert but I've owned a few Ford Powercode systems. I have a 09, not a 2010. Yours should have the Mykey, and your problem sounds exactly like the Mykey problem guys on another forum talked about it. and then with the new Mykey programming options that I pointed out on that website/file above, you should be able to easily change the option so that the remote start goes back to operating normally (like on the 09 and earlier trucks).

 

STEVE I SPOKE TO CODE ALARMS SYSTEM TECH THEMSELVES AND HE SAID THE SAME THING THAT U CANNOT CHANGE IT ALSO WHEN I TRIED TO ENTER THE WEBSITE IT ASKS FOR COMPANY AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ON TO THE SITE TO ACCESS WHAT U SAID TO DO CAN U GIVE ME SOME HELP ON THIS

 

oh, I just made up a company name on that website in order to access it, it doesn't matter. Or email me through my profile and I can just email you the files.

 

THANKS I DID THAT STILL CANT GET ON I WILL EMAIL YOU LATER SO U CAN SEND ME THE FILES THANKS VERY MUCH

 

STEVE just email me the file at sblnchrd@yahoo.com thanks very much

 

email has been sent buddy.

 

Mine did the same thing, but the day I picked it up I asked about turning that feature off and my sales person took the truck back to the service area and had the tech program it to not shut off when I open the door.
She did say something about the My-Key not working anymore with it set up like this.
But I'm the only one who drives the truck so I don't really care about the My-Key function.

 

Just as ohboy44 said, the MyKey is not compatible with the remote start options. Before I picked up my new truck, the dealership called and explained it that to enable the truck to staying running while you get in, the MyKey must be disabled. Once they do this then it can be programmed in the more traditional way. Mine works great, plus we do not have any reason for the MyKey so no loss.

2010 F150 Platinum 4x4; Red Candy Metallic

 

I have the 2way system with a 2button system. I'm registered on that site but not sure which file to follow.. would I be the PROGRAMMING - GEN2 GOLD WITH OR WITHOUT "MYKEY" file?

thanks in advance.

(picked up my 2010 F150 yesterday and I know I Want to change this setting for the door locks !!)

 

does the motor shut off with aftermarket starters or just fords???

 

ok I just tried the instructions but now I get three beeps and my truck wont start.

The troubleshooting guide suggests that this is a door ajar situation.

this text below was part of the instructions, but I admit I didnt understand it at the time. I did the process with my door closed.

"Note: on vehicles with negative polarity door ajar switch input circuits (refer to the vehicle specific programming section), the door is closed during this step unless the door ajar switch input polarity option has been previously changed to negative"

Soooo, how do I correct this please?

 

In trying to correct this, I held the button too long and it did a master reset.. now I get 4 beeps lol.. maybe I'll visit the dealer in the morning.
