A dumb question, but is there a time limit on warming up the truck when using a remote start??? I mean, if I start the truck and then for some dumb reason I forget its running, will it turn itself off after a certain amount of time??? Or does it run until out of gas? I've always wondered this especially with the remotes that can start it a mile away. Is it possible to accidentally start it by having the key FOB in your pocket?
i set the two i installed to 15-20.

They usually have a timed cut off. I think the one on my Cobra will shut itself off after 10 or 20 minutes. Also have it set where I have to push a 2 button combination to get it to start instead of just a single button so chance of an accidental start is very slim. Always have the remote hanging out of my pocket anyway.

Install is not very difficult but if you don't have electrical networking knowledge and multimeter skills than I do not recommend it. I personally don't recommend anything DEI/XPRESSkit. They have solid products but clearly don't care about there customers. Had I known this I would have taken my business elsewhere. Just my two cents

you gotta remember that most of these remote start companies wont give customer service for a DIY install. im sure the same goes for Xpresskit. thats the risk you take when installing it yourself, again why you need to have some knowledge of electrical workings and aleast the know how of a voltmeter.

just like python wont give support to DIY installs.
bull dog security will give support to those DIY installs but no clue on product quality.
DEI/Xpresskit are great systems and faily easy to program manually, directions are pretty easy to follow as well.
