12 T4R remote start

wondering if there is a way to disable the auto shut off when entering the vehicle after it is remotely started, ours is a limited with factory remote start.

Assuming it is the same as the '10 and '11....then Nope. Unfortunately not.

I have only used my remote start maybe 3 times (aside from goofing off) in the last 14 months for that exact reason.
 
I know, I know ....

Get the Antman on it!

Sheesh, I just had a basic $300 Viper RS put in my sister's car - all you do is put the key in and turn it, and it doesn't shut off.
 
As stated previously, we're sure you can not on the '10 and '11. There aren't too many of you with '12's yet, and even fewer who have installed the remote start....so not a lot of experience to pull from.

In order to find your answer, you'll have to ask the dealership if the starter that they added is the same as the one used in '11. If yes...then there is your answer. If no, then you might have a small hope.

I had a conversation with a tech who works at my sponsor dealership, they guy is damn good, and has proven this many times.

He has been exploring this on his free time, and says that he was not able to turn off the auto shut off as of yet.

This was one of the reasons why I didn't want dealer-installed remote starter. Love my viper. Absolutely happy with it.
 
Sounds like I'm in the minority here, but I like the engine-kill feature on the remote starter. It's less likely that someone could steal it when the engine is running and I'm away from the vehicle.

I use my remote starter occasionally on cold mornings. One day last month it was below freezing here (29 degrees) so I used it to warm up the truck before I took the kids to school.

We're on the same page here. I like the engine shut-off feature of remote start. Plus it's only ON for 10 minutes...

this logic right there makes no sense to me.
I have been told that by many people, and I just don't understand that..

Does the OEM remote starter not turn off if the brake pedal is pressed?

All remote starters i've ever owned would shut the car off immediately if a) brake pedal is pressed b) gear changes c) hood is open without my key being in the ignition.

It works same way on my lady's push button start Nissan. you have to initialize a "take-over" in order to get the control of the vehicle, otherwise it'll stall.

The OEM remote starter will kill the vehicle the instant you unlock/open the doors. Most of us with the OEM remote starter, at least on the limiteds, all have the smart key i.e. no key to put in the ignition. My duramax works just like most normal OEM ones...you press the brake and it'll shut off, or time out after 10-15 mins.
 
^^
that's exactly what i'm talking about. I just don't get this whole " less likely to steal the car" deal.

I suppose I was / am looking for a well educated, reasonable explanation on what I am missing in their logic.
 
Try the unlock button

On mine I just hit the unlock button once I get in the car and it does not kill the engine.
 
The engine shuts off when the door is opened because there is no key to put in the ignition to override the anti-theft, if it did not shut off then anyone would be able to get in and drive away with your vehicle. This is a feature of all remote starters for the 10+ limited whether OEM or aftermarket and can't be disabled.

I use my remote start everyday and it does exactly what it was meant to, warm it up when it's cold out and cool it down when it's hot, just gotta remember to turn up the heat or the A/C depending on the season.

I really don't see the issue with having to push a button to get you on your way. :shrug:

this is false.

Same installer who put my aftermarket remote starter in my car has put same model into my friend's Sequoya with push button, his wife's '11 LTD t4r, my second half's Nissan Altima, and one of my client's '10 GT-R just in last two weeks.
He's been installing remote starters on push-to-start systems for over 2 years now, and anti-theft feature is remaining in place.

this system doesn't make sense to me either. If I had remote start I would want to start the car from the house, walk out, get in and go. Why have to start the car again? :shrug:
 
Remote start

I have a 12 trail with remote start that the dealer installed, not the factory one but their own version that allows me to get in and put key in the ignition when getting in without the car shutting off. Not sure what brand they use but it works well.

So I guess it is simply how the remote unit is designed. If the oem unit is plugged into or incorporated somehow into the ECU, then it's a programming thing. After market, I suspect would not blend with the ECU and it is just where the wires are connected. (Sensing certain or any electrical activity above and beyond the entry lights).

Does this make sense?

Sounds logical, must be wrong. :jk:
