Default remote starter

I have a 2008 Silverado with factory installed remote starter. It will only run for 10 minutes after remote start. Can the computer be reprogrammed to set a longer run time ?

I don't believe the computer can be programmed for a longer run time.

If the vehicle is left running it will automatically shut off after 10 minutes unless a time extension has been done.

If it is the first remote start since the vehicle has been driven, while the engine is still running, to extend the engine running time by 10 minutes. Remote start can be extended one time.

The vehicle can be remote started two separate times between driving sequences. The engine will run for 10 minutes after each remote start.

Or, you can extend the engine run time by another 10 minutes within the first 10 minute remote start time frame, and before the engine stops.

For example, if the lock button and then the remote start buttons are pressed again after the vehicle has been running for five minutes, 10 minutes are added, allowing the engine to run for 15 minutes.

The additional ten minutes are considered a second remote vehicle start.

Once two remote starts, or a single remote start with one time extension has been done, the vehicle must be started with the key.

After the key is removed from the ignition, the vehicle can be remote started again.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me.
