Override 15 minute Remote Start

higherlife · Dec 20, 2015

Is there anyway to override the remote start 5, 10 or 15 minute start time so it will stay on longer? Since its finally getting cold, i really would like the truck to warm up for a longer time but am to lazy to physically go outside and put the key in the ignition.

thanks

Honestly mine stays at 100 until I drive it. I've sat for 30 min and it refused to warm up lol.

I figured it would be worth a shot. Off topic but how are your m16s wearing? I saw them on a truck and they look ba imo.

for this exact reason, i block off the back side of the grill with a couple old rubber floor mats. i also have the high idle mod done along with a aftermarket remote start that runs for 45min a pop..

On mine, once its started i just hit the button 2x more and it doubles the runtime. This is the factory Ford remote with separate fob.

This is my third vehicle with them, I love them. I average 50-60k on a set, mixed off-road *desert* and city/highway. For as aggressive as they are they wear pretty well, just gotta rotate the hell out of them or they'll develop vibration.

This.

Lock start start, lock start start=30 mins of idle on factory key.

It'll never come all the way up without high idle.

So if you set the park brake and turn the up fitter for high idle on the night before, then remote start the truck the next morning the high idle comes on correct? And you can do remote start steps twice for 30 minute cycle?

Pretty sure the up fitters don't work unless the key is in the on position.

So there would have to be a separate switch?

i ran a separate hot feed to one of my upfitter switches so it will have power while in Remote Start mode. its fairly simple to do

could you scratch a diagram of what you did on a piece of paper please?

I thought there was a way to keep the truck running and take the keys out too, like if you were going into a gas station.

I thought there was too but I've tried a 1000 different combinations and it just shuts off. I have the keypad on the door too so I usually just use that but sometimes if I go into a store for 5 min or so I don't really want to shut it off but I don't want to leave the keys in it either. Just curious because i thought I read somewhere you could

i could on my 2010. just activate the remote start with the engine running, in park, with the doors closed-then jump out and take the keys with you.

have not yet been able to figure it out on a 2015.

Yeah I can't either. I've tried everything. I guess I need to ask my tech buddy at the dealer if it's even capable. But you'd think these trucks could for 70k
