High Idle Mod Question

I have an '03 that I'd like to elevate the idle speed. However, I have a remote start system that I really enjoy using from the comfort of my home in the a.m. Can the high idle mod be set to happen automatically if I set my parking brake etc.? OR, do I have to physically flip the switch to initiate the high idle? I want to be able to use my remote start without having to go to the truck to initiate the high-idle switch...am I asking too much or is the switch just left on for this action to happen? Also, I understand that I just tap my brake when in the vehicle and the idle comes back down??? Any / all info. is appreciated as I'm really considering doing this lil mod...

What remote start system, rather, does it have any aux. controls? I have the oem factory R/S system and it has 2 aux. controls, one of which I wired the SEIC to so I can idle up remotely. If no aux. controls you can supply a constant 12v to the SEIC wire and it will idle up everytime the parking brake is on, but I suggest wiring in a switch to kill the 12v when driving or when not needed.
