I've searched around but couldn't find this. I'm getting to know my 2012 Limited with the factory remote start fob in addition to the fob on the key.
I can lock it, start it, but it shuts off when I unlock it. Is there a way to avoid the restart?
My owners manual doesn't address it, I might be missing a supplemental book? Searched multiple threads here and didn't find one about the correct procedure, lots about non-working ones.
Thanks in advance.

My '21 remote start requires you to first lock the doors then press the start button x 2. To stop, simply hit the start again. Maybe they have changed the procedure, maybe not.

With my 08 I have the 2nd fob (factory) for remote start as well... I hold the button till I get a quick horn honk and it starts... it will do it with the doors locked or unlocked... if they are locked I can unlock and enter the truck and it stays running... that is unless you hit the brake pedal... if you do it shuts down.

This functionality is standard on Gen 3 Expys up to 2014. My 2011 allows you to unlock the door after remote start, but when you open the door, it shuts off. I also had a 2014 that functioned the same way, my 2017 Gen 3 does not have this "feature".
I believe there is a way to turn this functionality off with FORSCAN, but I have not tried it. Post the question in the FORSCAN section and see if anyone responds.
