stangfvr Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I have the factory/dealer installed remote start on my 12 MY exp. After I remote start it and open the door to get in, the vehicle shuts off. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? I haven't used this option because I can not keep the vehicle running after I open the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 That is how it is designed to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I would be going back to the dealer. Our Edge doesn't work like that. It stays running unless you put foot on the break without the key inserted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangfvr Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 so whats the point of having the remote start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Waloud, you most likely have a different style of RMST. I am betting that yours is integrated in the key and stangfvr yours has an additional fob for it? IF indeed that is the case, then they are both functioning as designed. Most people use RMST to heat or cool the cabin before they get in- that is the point, nothing else. Different shutdowns are provisions for different safety reasons. The brake shutdown is so no one can get it out of gear to steal it. The door open and key in ignition shutdowns are so MyKey functionality is not lost. You still have to put the key in the ignition to drive off, so I am not sure what the issue is? If it is the re-start, that is actually easier on the vehicle than forcing it to cold idle for 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 We have a different fob for the RMST. Was a dealer add on plug in system from Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Its SUPPPOSED to shut off with the door opening so that MyKey is unaffected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
