Default remote start

my 2018 model has a remote start that is part of the enform application. The car will start and idle for 10 minutes and then shut down. Is there a way to increase the idle time to anything more than 10 minutes?

Sadly no. I think it’s a great feature, as I can start my car anywhere with a connection. Wish it stayed on if I opened my door, but I guess it’s the liability Toyota doesn’t want.

My understanding from a Mercedes dealer, is that in Europe there are countries that don't allow the remote start because of fuel shortages in the past., This was a couple years ago, so could have changed.

Default Restarting

Even after remotely starting the car, if you start it again, it will only run for 6 more minutes. Environmental concerns, I believe.

System is limited to two (2) ten (10) minute cycles then you must start it conventionally
to reset the count. No owner or dealer setting to change that.
