Default Unable to turn Remote Start Comfort System off

I have become tied of the fan going full blast when i get in my truck in the morning (still blowing cold) so i attempted on several occasions to disable the RSCS through the EVIC. uncheck it and exit EVIC. However, when i start the truck the next time, the fan is back on high.
a total of five times, EVIC has conveniently re-applied the check mark to the RSCS for me. the check mark is gone until i turn the truck off. all other EVIC setting can be manipulated w/o any problems (only RSCS).
i know most of you guys have not disabled the RSCS yet but would appreciate if anyone has found similar issues or have any insight.

I have the same problem.............I tried at least dozen times. Everytime I shut the truck off and re-start it, the check mark comes back on. I don't know why it does this. I don't like how's it's blowing full blast either. Hopefully someone can shed some light into this.

Mine does not do that. When I remote start on a cold morning (below 40F), it will turn on the heated seats and steering wheel, but the A/C display shows "DELAY" and it doesn't really start blowing anything until I've driven a few minutes and there is some actual heat in the system.

no, YZF, i did not find a solution to this. dealer said "normal operation compared to another truck".
the only person that ever said his truck did something different was Stuart, see above, but i think he was mistaken.
we asked him to get some video for us to show our dealer but we never heard back from him.

Thanks jawsdc I wish I would have found this thread before I went to dealer. They changed out my whole instrument clust now my engine hrs are back to 0 and they marked up the dash in a few spot and scratched up the lens cover over the instruments so now I need to go back when they get a new cover for me and let them touch my truck again. I hate half *** techs who dont take care of the customer vehicles.
