330i - Climate Control Rules with Remote Start Changed

gofast182 · 03-09-2021, 07:56 AM

A coworker has a '21 330i. When he got the car he set the climate control rules and when he would remote start the car the seats and steering wheel would come on.

For the last couple of weeks when he remote starts the car, the heated seats and steering wheel only come on when he gets in and presses the start and parking brake buttons. This isn't the right functionality.

As a matter of fact there was a bulletin for a software update for '19 and '20 models to make it so remote start does activate the heated seats and steering wheel.

Has anyone else experienced this? Thoughts?

Yes that happened to me as well. When I use the remote start only the steering wheel heats up. The seats stay frozen

Did anyone ever figure this out? My steering wheel heat is coming on in cool Temps, but much higher than the setting in the climate control rules.
