Override 15 minute Remote Start

[webb06]

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.

Mine did too. Never have figured it out with the 2012. I just lock them in it and use the door code when I do leave it running.

The idle time is worse on the truck then the cold start! you guys must have crazy idle hours on your junk doing that. Mine stays the same temp until I drive it so in most cases I just run it for 2-3 minutes and go.

I just start and drive out of the heated garage. Isn't that what everyone does?

It is nice having a garage I'll admit that!

Wise man! I have always parked outside since I've been driving until I bought my house. It had a garage that was insulated and heated as soon as possible. I want to put a work bay on at some point, but I'm still thrilled with what I have. And the wife having access to a warm car is a huge plus for me!

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.

Vehicles with the older style remote start (non-plug and play) have that feature. All vehicles that have the plug and play remote starts do not retain this.

For example, those with a 2010 F-150 could hold the remote start fob button down while in park, horn will honk, take the key out of the ignition, and the truck keeps running. Try doing the same thing with a 2011 and it won't work. In 2011, all trucks switched to plug and play (technically they switched to CGEA but that's a long story).

FYI, Ford remote starts are limited to a max runtime of 15 minutes per remote start (most limited to 2 remote starts per key cycle). This is factory programmed and cannot be increased beyond the 15 minutes.
