Edit* after remote starting it, if I press heated wheel button nothing appears. So too me that's it turning off, The second press it says on. Tested it twice back to back. Perhaps you have different software? |

You are wrong. Plain and simple (at least as it pertains to the Canadian market vehicles).

Well, with all due respect, I believe you're mistaken. Think about it; you can't possible be the only one this works for, unless everyone else is incorrect. However, I'm obviously not there with you to verify your claim myself, so I'm just going to have take your word for it. Is there any other physical indication, prior to you hitting the on button, that verifies that it automatically activates, when the remote start commences? |

I just want to verify that you're not mistaken and get the facts right. It's not a competition to me. If it turns out I'm wrong, great! I will be the first to apologize for doubting you but as of right now, I'm not convinced. Sorry. |

If I Had one of those temp guns I'd video it. I have no reason to pretend my steering wheel heats up from RS. When I first got the car everything would be cold until I manually activated it. It was just at the dealer for programming in which I got new software and now the steering wheel gets warm, the driver seat seems too as well, but didn't confirm it so I might be mistaken about the seat I'll monitor that next time I do it. |

I sincerely apologize if it came off like I was accusing you lying, that's too strong of a word. I was merely trying to separate any possible unintentional misunderstandings from fact. Obviously, more research needs to been done on the subject before it's considered conclusive. Hopefully, we'll make some progress soon and put this glaring oversight behind us. #FirstWorldProblems |

Also for the very few of you who seem to have actually read this whole thread from the beginning, I was skeptical (before you were) of users who posted that their seats were remote heating. To the point that I basically told one poster he was wrong...but ONLY because he is on the same software version as me, and also in the US...as I know my car doesn't do that. What confuses me however is why anyone would think they know exactly how someone else's car behaves, in a different country, on a different software version. Seems incredibly presumptuous to me. Or maybe just "par for the course". Last edited by 2020g20; 01-08-2020 at 09:07 PM.. |

Thanks again for confirming this is working for you. I really hope the 11/2019 upgrade is what makes the difference, instead of a US vs. Canadian safety regulation issue. I'll report back once my dealer upgrades me.

It’s not that cold around me, about 30 degrees, but I am going to pay more attention to my seat and steering wheel when I get in after it is remote started.
Good news is I have figured out my auto heated seat problem where it wasn’t coming on automatically below a certain temp. Just like rebooting a computer, I manually turned everything off (climate control, heated seats, auto heated seats, etc.) and then all back on and it now works as described when I turn on the car below the set temperature. Bad news is my car has the weakest heated steering wheel I have ever had so that part will be hard to tell if it turns on automatically. |

Is your iDrive configured to turn your seats on automatically under a certain outside temp? In other words, do they automatically come on as soon as you press the Start button to exit remote start mode?

They certainly told me I could update over the air when I bought the car. Is that a feature that they had and removed? Can't imagine they would lie about it. Kind of pisses me off that they didn't bother doing an update that was available in November when the car was at the dealership for three days last week.

I used remote start this morning and checked to see if the heated seats and steering wheel were on even though the indicator lights were not lit up. The steering wheel and seats were cold so neither were on.
Also, now the auto heated seats when I hit the start button stopped working again which is frustrating but at least it’s easy to just hit the heated seat button vs going into a screen to do it like in my Durango (although auto heated seats work perfectly in the Durango). |

It's been my experience so far with the dealers in my area that you have to make them do a software update. They aren't going to voluntarily do it for no reason. It takes at least a couple of hours to do, and they have to justify that labor expenditure in their system. Tell them you're having issues with CarPlay and your Connected Drive app staying connected. |

One note to help the debate on this topic... when people are asserting what behaviors are being observed on their car, note the bottom of the post with your software version.
This will help discern if software is the differentiating factor, scanning through the above that seems to be a strong hypothesis |
