Remote start range will vary by key fob. If your iDataStart system does not include long range remotes, you may still add iDataStart remotes (sold separately) at a later date. Ask your iDataStart Authorized Dealer for details.
ADJUSTING ENGINE RUNTIME SETTINGS
Once remote started from your factory key fob or long-range remote, your vehicle will run for the programmed
‘runtime’ setting. The default runtime is 15 minutes but it can also be programmed for
3, 5, 10, 25, 30 or 35 minutes. If you wish to change your remote start runtime setting, contact your iDataStart
Authorized Dealer.
