Can anyone confirm that this model has an automatic timer to start the vehicle at predetermined (every 4 hours) intervals?

I have a 05 Ford F250 Diesel, does this model have a bought in timer that can be set? Also what else would I need to install it.

It depends on your model. Some have timers, if yours does not you must manually turn off!

I like this timer because it goes beyond just one hour. But what you are asking would be too complex. You would need to manually intervene at the stop and start times.

No, it has to be manually chosen, but you can leave It on the mph screen and it will not reset when the car is turned off

I believe that there no absolute time in this controller. The 24 hours (or whatever interval you set) start at the time when you first set it and then happen every 24 hours at that same time.

I just went through the manual and it doesn't mention power draw. However, the unit has an internal battery that supplies power until it runs low and then draws power from your vehicle to charge. There is a small blue/red light that displays what it is doing. During the set-up you can program the unit to shut off automatically after some period when you stop or leave the vehicle. It will automatically turn back on when you next start the vehicle. Plus, the on off button is readily accessible. This unit is so small I can't imagine it running a car battery down even if left on for a lengthy period (not programmed to auto turn off).

Yes. When I either turn the vehicle on or off the device will startup or shutdown.

No timer that you can set yourself. There is an auto shut off after it runs through its cycle.

The unit does not have a timer. It will continue to provide power until the vehicle charger shuts off either due to having reached the programmed charge level (vehicle selected) or the vehicle timer reaches its programmed time limit.

No delayed start on this one, it has a programmable timer that auto switches to keep warm either once it reaches temp desired or time desired.

The manual is no help. The menus are fairly intuitive...that being said, don't bother setting the date or time because it resets all by itself every now and then. Keep am eye on it sometimes it doesn't start when you turn on your car and won't record. Just remember...you get what you pay for. Don't expect much from this unit.

If you program it so the zones are timed to come on the same day,but a several minutes apart ( I put 5 minutes between ending one zone and starting the next one) it will run without needing to manually start each zone.

The timer can be set for 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24, weekly so it should fit your requirement. To be sure, download the user manual from the manufacturer to confirm. Takes a complete cycle to activate, thus mine is set for daily and will only run the first time the next day. However, there is a manual override that can be set outside of the automated, so it works well. Had bought an older model that failed and Melnor replaced it with an advanced model and I bought two more because it worked so well. Great product and manufacturer from my perspective.

Nothing automatic about this unit. Plug it in, it's on. Unplug it, it's off. I have mine connected to a timer to run for a determined amount of time, usually 2 hours before I need to start my truck.

I used mine as a delayed start for a fan on an offroad vehicle. I believe this also works in a way that you can time how long you want power on then it will shut off. It will adjust from 1 second to hours..... No manual so you will have to do some figuring out yourself.

Maybe. One of the nicest features of this timer is that it comes preprogrammed out of the box to go on at sunset and off at 11pm(?). I found that cycle perfect so didn't need to program. Assume if the power goes out the default setting will always be there but not sure if you were to change the default. My guess would be yes based on experience with other similar ones but not sure.
