Jeep Wrangler: Using SiriusXM Guardian™ / Remote Vehicle Start
Description
The Remote Vehicle Start feature provides you
with the ability to start the engine on your
vehicle without the keys and from virtually any
distance. Once started, the preset climate
controls in your vehicle can warm up or cool
down the interior.
You can also send a command to turn off an
engine that has been started using Remote
Vehicle Start. After 15 minutes, if you have not
entered your vehicle with the key, the engine
will shut off automatically.
This remote function requires your vehicle to be
equipped with a factory-installed Remote Start
system.
You can set up push notifications every time a
command is sent to activate or cancel Remote
Start.

How long does it take to unlock or lock the
door? Depending on various conditions, it
can take up to three minutes or more for
the request to get to your vehicle.
Which is faster, my key fob or the Uconnect

more quickly, however its range is limited
and your Uconnect App comes in handy for
these and other situations...
