Remote Start RESTRICTED to 2x
We appreciate you sharing these sentiments with us. We are aware some manufacturers provide similar features on their motor vehicles and have individually determined their own appropriate range of time for individual remote start cycles. Our engineers have calibrated the length of each Remote Start to be up to 20 minutes long, resulting in a total of up to 40 minutes for the pre-conditioning period. This balances safe vehicle operation with cabin conditioning needs and management of the vehicle. With this, if you have any additional questions, or would like to share additional feedback, kindly email socialmedia@gm.com with ATTN: OnStar Community/ORD312 in the subject headline.
40 minutes would be great. My 2016 sonic is only letting me do 2 - 10minute cycles (20 minutes total). Is there an update i can get to get 2- 20 minute cycles? It's in the negatives where I live and I need more time to warm up and defrost my car.
Thank you for connecting with us here, @Edykman202. There is not currently a method to change the length of the remote start. We do appreciate you sharing your feedback and experience here. If you did have any further feedback, questions, or concerns please feel free to send us a private message to OnStar_Support.
