Multiple Remote Starts

hemorse · 01-15-2024, 11:51 AM

Is there a way to enable remote starts to work more than twice without restarting the vehicle?

Also, could someone please explain what the temperature selection in the pre-conditioning field is all about? Do you set it high or low for cold weather?

Thank you!

A vehicle sitting idling is getting zero MPG. Idling doesn't warm everything up...your transmission and other bits that rotate need you to be driving to make that happen. Being able to do it twice immediately should be more than enough to get the cabin at least somewhat comfortable.

I'm not aware of a way to overcome the dual period of remote start...there might be a way via programming; I've not looked.
