Default Auto start remote starters

Anyone have any experience with this brand?

I bought one of their 2 way systems a few years back and have had one thing that bugs me since day 1.

All the features work just fine, only issue is the remote start. I assumed all units like this would stop running the starter motor when it sees a spike in RPM's or cuts it off when a certain level of RPM's is reached. I guess mine does too but it seems really high. Mine seems to keep running the starter motor for a few seconds after the engine has started. Not great for the starter so I tend to use it sparingly.

Is there any way to adjust this? I've seen on other similar systems that you start the car, wait for it to drop to idle, push on the break pedal and depress the remote start button on the FOB. That then tells the system this RPM level is what it waits for before cutting off starter motor.

My fiance has the exact same system and it works just fine for her but hers is an automatic transmission Yaris.

I've looked through all their documentation as well as some google searching but come up with nothing.

My car is manual transmission.

Help?
