Nope, not at all. You misunderstand. I specifically don't want to take the keys out of my pocket. My morning goes like this...
1) pull into school parking lot
2) open my door, exit the vehicle, close the door
3) honk honk
4) walk to the rear door where my son is and let him out
5) honk honk
6) hugs and goodbyes, hop back in and drive off
Turning the engine off is silly and unnecessary, in this case, and just puts wear and tear on things. I'm just hoping to get rid of steps 3 and 5. 😜
I've read several times that the f-150 coding change doesn't work on these cars. I don't know the first thing about coding on these cars, but do understand sets of bits. I dunno which bits do what in these registers, or which are check digits, and am a touch wary of hopping in there and flipping bits without knowing what they do.
Current chatter on forums for more widely driven vehicles seems to suggest that current forscan has some sort of functionality where these settings can be adjusted by name, rather than long coding, so I'm gonna grab a dongle and see what I see I guess.
