My starter is programmed to run for 12 minutes when I use the remote start & I can't figure out how to reprogram it to run longer before it shuts itself off.
You do realize that there are multiple remote starter manufacturers and, that these multiple manufacturers have different programming methods. However, the 12 minute run time is a default run time for Directed Electronics (Viper, Python, Clifford, Avital, etc) but, that does not mean that it is a DEI product. If it is a DEI product and you wish to change your runtime to 20 minutes, it can only be done with a BITWRITER. The installer should have this. The runtime settings that are optional without the bitwriter are 12, 24 and, 60 minutes for the more expensive units.
SOURCE: after install every thing but the starter itself
did you follow the procedure for programming the remote starter portion of the unit yet?? We get 20-30 calls a day because people do NOT program the starter to start a certain way. It is specified in the INSTALLATION manual that the unit needs to be programmed before using the remote starter.

The time for it to run is programmed for 12 minutes, but I want to increase it to 20; I haven't done anything to it cause all the owners guide says is how to use it, not how to reprogram it...
