I've thumbed through this- I've not seen anything on being able to disable the auto-shut off when idling over 15 minutes with fob out of the truck and locked? My shop dog normally is in the truck, and if it's summer time I leave it running (my last truck was a ram 2500, it had a fob/push button key and wouldn't time out)..... thankfully I found this out the hard way when I came out about 18 minutes later..... truck was off, cabin was still cool but was warming up. I was kinda ticked you can't turn that off.

I am interested in the same thing and was just about to post the same reply.

Probably best to start your truck with the Ford Pass App. From there you will be able to continually add minutes to how long your truck stays on. I don't think there is a limit with Ford Pass.

Is there anyone in here in the Orlando, windermere, winter garden, winter park area that can help me out? All i want to do are the auto fold mirrors, seat belt chime and show heated seats on screen. Not comfortable messing with settings. PM me if your in the central Florida area and can help. Thanks

Strikes me funny that you aren't comfortable at messing with the settings but you'd allow a stranger to. :p

It really isn't that hard and if you take the time it is simple. I suggest if you have someone else perform the steps, watch them so you can see how/what is being done. Also write down the previous settings since I'm not sure if they will perform the backups on each module for you.

No, haven't seen any issues. Did your existing license expire before you tried to load the new license?

Yeah my license expired because I last used Forscan in February.

Either the site is not creating proper keys or my Forscan software isnt importing them propery. I've upgraded to the newest software.

I downloaded a license key yesterday. Worked fine.

Figured it out. Im using Parallels on my Mac and downloaded the old key again. The new key was saved somewhere else.
