Ive got a 2010 1500 sport with the factory mopar remote start. When I remote start it It runs for a maximum of 15 mins and will only run for 2 run cycles.
Im pretty sure theres no way to extend the 15 min run time but im frusterated that I can only remote start the truck 2 times in a row.
Does anyone know of a way that I can get the truck to start more than twice without actually going out and cycling the key to reset the module.
I am aware that other starters are available, viper/ astro-start but I have no other complaints with the mopar one except the limit of 2 run cycles.
Thanks
Dallas

 

VIPER 4203
2-Way, LED/chime confirm, 2000' range, timer program, valet feature-remove ignition fob/exit/lock/motor on.
Paid $219 w/CHALL module -1 hr install.

Ford & GM offer 2-way systems. Chrysler lags behind as usual.

 

Thanks ramr/t My other truck has an astro start 2-way with a 60 min. run time and re-settable timer. And my previous truck had a viper 2-way. I know they work well. Since I already have the mopar starter I just thought I'd ask if anyone had any ideas, sometimes theres some tricks that ppl know of.

 

I'm not trying to be a pain in the rear or anything, but why do you need the truck to run for 30+ minutes? Within 10-15 mins, even in some of the colder climates, all the fluids should be fairly close to operating temps.

 

I like the convienience option of the mopar starter, it turns on the heated seats, steering wheel and the climate control on high/hot automatically. Do any of the aftermarket/viper starters do anyhting like that?

 

Haha, no prob. I get a response like this fairly often from my american brothers.. I live in ab Canada and because of the cold climate I like to have the truck running for long periods of time. its not really a fluid warm-up thing, its more for personal convienience. to keep the cab warm I often let it run while i'm doing things throughout the day.

 

right now I usually leave the key in it running and just lock the doors with the other fob. it would just be nice to be able to take the key with me.

 

do you not have the detachable keyfob?

 

The 32 gallon fuel tank is the limitation. A third start would drain a full tank.

I'm curious, what's your average fuel mileage? It may be cheaper in the long run to build yourself a garage.

 

nope, the keyfob is used in the ignition to start the truck, I use the other fob to lock it.

haha, running for 45 mins would drain the tank?
It would be nice to build a garage, but I need to keep the truck warm while i'm out and about, (work, around the city) not so much while i'm at home.
