Default Engine Idle Timeout - how to disable?

After engine idles for 15 min or so you get a warning asking if you want to continue idling, and with no pushing of the "OK" button, the engine shuts-off. This occurs with the fob inside the cab. Is there a way to disable the "idle timeout"? Thanks in advance!

Why would you want to idle a gas engine that long ? Probably can disable with forscan.
