Factory remote start run time
I bought a used 2006 Escape a few months ago. It came with a factory remote start. The manual for the remote start says it shuts off after 10 minutes. 10 minutes ! What good is that when its 20 degrees out. The manual says you have the option to change that to 15 minutes but doesn't tell you how. Its a 2 button unit, with 2 seperate remotes from the normal lock unlock remote. The manual says "vehicle security and remote start systems" on the cover. Inside it says "PowerCode Securilock interface sold seperate". I don't know if it has that or not.
Anybody know how to change that to the 15 minutes the manual say it can do ?
Anybody know how to make it longer then that ? Maybe 25 to 30 minutes ?
Can you disable it from beeping the horn when you use the remote start ? I am sure my neighbors love my horn at 4:00 in the morning.

A bit OT but I've seen my neighbor's Edge start and run for thirty minutes!

Its not long enough for me. Its like just to the point that the temp gauge is starting to come up, no heat yet. I would like it to be warmed up to the point that heat is blowing out the vents and its warm inside, with the windsheild defrosted.
I have just been checking on it in 10 minutes and when its not running I hit the button again and re-start it.
I have an aftermarket remote start in my excursion and it is a far better unit this is factory one. The one in my excursion lets it run for 30 minutes. Also the one in my excursion has better range with the remote.
I guess the one in my escape is better then nothing.
