Factory remote start question!
I am curious to know if anyone can tell me how many consecutive remotes starts they can make on there 2017-2019? My 2017 with aftermarket I could start it as many times as I wanted, but my 2020 has the factory remote start which the 17 didn’t. But I can only start it twice (or maximum of 30 minutes) then it has to be started by key. So the reason I am asking is if this is a change in the BCM, it might be an adjustment that can be made in Forscan.

I don't have any idea what my '21 will let me do. I have it set to remote start every morning with the app. The first day it idled for 10 minutes and then shut off. I remote started it using the keyfob and then took off within the next 5 minutes. Yesterday it idled for 15 minutes and shut off (which is what I have the remote start duration set to in the dash) and shut off. I tried to remote start it with the key fob and it just honked at me, no dice. This morning it idled for 19 minutes continuously before I left for work. No clue how it is supposed to work.

I would say check these 2 parameters in FORscan:
726-25-01 xxxx xxxx x*xx Feat_Cfg [REMOTESTARTDURATION] [VEHICLE] ENUM: 0=OFF 1=MIN5 2=MIN10 3=MIN15
726-28-01 xxxx xxxx x*xx FeatLst_to_BCM_Feature_InitVal [REMOTESTARTDURATION] ENUM: 0=OFF 1=MIN5 2=MIN10 3=MIN15
I'd be curious as to how they are currently set?

Maybe it’s a total run time thing?

I am suspecting that myself. I disabled the max 30 minute idle
time in the gauge cluster this morning and will see if that makes a difference.

Wouldn’t think that, there are mornings where I start it and end up being home a little longer and end up starting it after each time out 2-3 times after the first one. I have my timer set to 15 minutes. So that’s 45-60 min back to back run time.

I have a question along these lines too. When you use the remote start do the glow plugs go hot? I ask because there is no delay whatsoever when I command the key fob she just instantly fires up regardless of temp.

Sometimes you don't get out of the house when you planned initially, so that's when I hit it again as it will cool off fast. My buddy who is joined @ my hip gets cold easy, the extra hit is mostly for her.
