Hey all. Trying to see if anyone knows about getting the factory installed remote start system into programming mode. Backstory. I have 2 one-way remote start remotes and both work just fine, but the system is programmed (due to Ford "safety" reasons) to turn off the engine when any doors are opened. This is quite annoying, and I would greatly prefer to be able to have it running, get in, put the key in and to 'Run', and keep the engine on. Less wear and tear on both my starter, as well as the A/C system (since I'm usually using remote start for cabin cooling). I have read that you should be able to get into programming mode and disable the setting flag for 'turn off when door open', and it will work like I want. I have located the remote start module in the driver footwell area, and see it is a Ford DNA9 module. The video I found on YouTube shows that there is an 'override button' located near the remote start module, but I am unable to find it on my TC. Is it down there somewhere that I just haven't found, or is there not one on the DNA9 module? Any assistance in this would be great. Thanks very much.

I highly doubt it. I'm not even sure if removing the seat would be enough for this motorcycle. It's listed as just short of 8ft long. Cargo area alone is only about 5.5' deep. It would be a tight fit without the seat in there at all. If it does fit, I may just have to forgo Airbags for the trip, since I think if the airbag module detects the seat is missing, it will disable all airbags, including the drivers steering wheel.

I was thinking there would be a way for it to think there was still a seat in there, with a resister in the harness maybe. ?

I'm wanting to use my new (to me) Connect to go get a motorcycle from my dad's place a few states away. Mine is a 2014 XLT cargo van version with 2 bucket seats up front and a bulkhead installed. I know the bike will not fit (and close the hatch) as is, but I was toying with the idea of temporarily removing the bulkhead and passenger seat and putting it in with the front wheel where the passenger seat goes. My question is if I remove the passenger seat, the airbag system will definitely throw a fault. Will the rest of the airbag system work correctly? If not, is there a way I can trick the system into thinking that a seat is still installed, but show as unbuckled, so that the passenger side airbags are deactivated, but the driver side ones still work. Thanks for any insight.
