Car Alarms: Valet Remote Starter - How do I program it to start every 2 hours?, exact model number, valet remote starter


Question
I had a DEI Valet remote starter/keyless entry system installed in my car about 4 years ago.  It's a two-button model.  I lost the instruction manual since last year, and when it gets as cold as it is now in Chicago, I like to program it to start every 2 to 3 hours by itself.  I only do this when it gets below zero, maybe a couple times a year.  So, I always forget how to do it.  I've been searching online, and can't find anything.  Too bad DEI didn't have a website.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Answer
Not sure what happened to the first response I gave so here it is again:

Without knowing the exact model number of your system I can not be sure which manual to tell you to grab.   It sounds like you may have the 551T from the brief description you gave of your remotes.  Taken from the 551T manual:

To enter Timer Mode:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press the auxiliary channel button controlling remote start
twice within 3 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition off while holding the auxiliary channel
button.

The 551T manual can be found here:
