Default Help Can I change how long my remote start keeps the car running??

I have a dealer installed remote starter and it only keep the car running for 10 minutes.
Dealer says there is nothing they can do to make it run longer.
Is that true??

thanks

No dumb a$$ so maybe when I'm cleaning snow off my car it stays running.

Can anyone tell me why people responde to post with crap like this??
It's not even funny and it just waste's space on the board.

GM991, The dealer is correct. You cannot lengthen the time that the remote start runs the engine for. Although, if you let it run for the 10 minutes before you leave, and let it shut off, then start it again, and go outside and clean off your car, it'll be really warm! I do that with my dad's G6 all the time, and it works great. It's always really toasty inside!
