Default 2011 remote start & MyKey

I've been wondering how this works.

My '11 Lariat has a factory installed remote start. It works great and doesn't shut off the engine when I open the door like others have stated.

Looking at the MyKey feature. Both of my keys are admin and I have never touched the MyKey feature.

What happens if I setup one of my keys to be restrictive and that key is used to remotely start the truck?

Does the engine then shutdown when the door is opened forcing it to read which key is used? The manual talks about programming the remote start as a restrictive key as well. If that is done and I remote start the truck with an admin key, am I then restricted since the truck was started using a restricted key (remote starter)?

If the engine does stop with an open door, does turning all the keys back to admin keys reverse this behavior?


Make sense?!

as stated many times before, the rmst door shutdown problem was a 2010 issue only, but easily fixed by a simple programming change for the rmst system.
