Delayed Accessory Power

Has anyone figured out how to enable this yet?

Its available on the 1500 and Dakota (some of those are standard).
aka Retained Accessory Power

This is what it's called when you turn the key off and the radio/windows still work for a few minutes.

Unless you have a programmer you gotta go to the dealer. Just had mine done, max a dealer will do id 10 minutes.

Up to 90 minutes with the Triple Dog. I have mine set for 60 minutes. 10 minutes is just rediculous.

Really? How often do you sit in the truck without it running for more than 10 minutes?

I'll play with my BDTD when I get it, it's sitting at Canada Customs still...

Quite often, actually. When running errands with the wife, sometimes my 3-yr old son and I will wait in the truck listening to music while my wife takes care of business. Or if he's napping I'll wait with the radio on. With my wife thats almost certain to be more than 10 minutes.

What I don't understand is how BD found a way to set it for a longer delay time then what a Dodge dealer can. I have mine set at the 10 min max time that the dealers can enable if for

Can? Or want? That is the question. Maybe the techs are instructed to do 10 minute max.

I saw the screen where they set the option at the dealer and it only went up to 10 minutes. I remember thinking that was kinda wierd since the Bully would do more than that?????

My dealer said they set it to 10 minutes. I changed the radio and took the neg battery lead off and now it's at 45 seconds. It's not a feature I use often but man... Can it revert back to something after losing power? Or did they not set it correctly?
