Ok guys I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the run time on my 2009 ford escape xlt factory remote starter. It didn't come from the factory with the starter I just had the factory unit put in a couple of months ago and noticed today that it only runs for 10 minutes and it was supposed to be set to the 15 min setting. I called the dealer ship but they can't get me in for 2 weeks. Is it something that I can do? I looked over the book from the starter but it doesn't say how to change the run time.

from what i've googled, the only (best) is to go through the ford dealership.

It's tied into PATS. The dealer is the only place you'll be able to get it done, or someone who has the proper equipment to modify the PATS system such as a tuner. Why on earth would you want it to run that long though?

I looked on google also

I work at a deepmine and the parking lot it ontop of a hill in a open field with no trees to block the wind in the winter. And 10 minutes with the heater on full blast doesn't melt the ice off of the windows.
