No

I can se you can switch of down time... do this mean it will keep the ignition on and the AC with out shutting down?

You can adjust the time but you can’t get rid of the shut down all together. It does NOT have pet mode. It would be really nice if it did though. If Ford does not add this later via a software update, which I have no reason to think they would, someone will find a way in Forscan to disable the shut down feature. Right now it is not possible though.

Forscan is a third party software tool that lets the user change certain module functions.

When you Google it though, just watch out for autocorrects to foreskin.

As a work around, there is nothing stopping you from remote starting the car and extending the time it stays started, or setting a timer on your phone when you remote start to come back and remote start again. It’s definitely more work, but those tools already exist. ?‍

You can turn off the auto shut down.

If you do that will the car not shut down at all?

Do tell. I’ve always eventually had the car shut down.

I would also make a couple paper notes to stick in the window on either side of the car so no one can bust your window just to be a [insert C word here] and then say “the car doesn’t sound like it’s running. How was I supposed to know?”

What setting have you been using to change the time to something other than 30 minutes?

Hot damn! Remote start is where the times are adjustable. Thanks.

Correct (unless you manually turn it off).
