Assessory Timeout

I am trying to use my truck hotspot at my camp and the timeout feature kicks in around 30 minutes. How can I either turn the feature off or set to a longer timeout??
Thanks!

People new to this site seem to be clueless information like year and model are highly important--post a question and assume mind readers are everywhere.

Best bet is to look in the manual.

My guess is that you may not be able to turn off the time limit, as presumably people would leave it on indefinitely and run down their battery (and then complain that their battery is dead).

If its the typical Ford accessory time out function that can be altered or turned off completely through a program like Forscan or the dealer could do it along with a skilled independent garage who has an advanced diagnostic scanning device.
