I have typically used the iPhone app, but today I remote started the car using the key fob. When I got to the car I noticed the passenger seat heater indicator was on the lowest setting. The indicator turned off when I opened a door. The driver's seat and steering wheel were not warm, unlike the passenger seat. I am running software version 07/2019.53 and in the US.

It's definitely worth testing both ways, but for me it doesn't seem to make a difference if I use the keyfob or the app. I get the impression the car runs the same routine either way.

Has anyone who coded the ability to have the steering wheel heater come on based on outside temperature had any luck getting it to come on when remote starting? I'm still waiting to hear back from tokenmaster so I can code it on my car. Last edited by bimmerbriva; 01-22-2020 at 08:44 PM.. |

I coded this, which enabled the IDrive rule (which is separate than the Climate Rules), and it does not turn it with remote start.

For what it's worth, I'm not convinced the climate rules within iDrive have any bearing on how the pre-heating behaves before you get in and press the Start button. On 07.2019.40, my passenger seat preheats (before entering the car) even when I've completely disabled the automatic seat heating rule. The rule only seems to control what happens after I press Start.

I have the option/checkbox to have the driver's seat heating to come on below a certain temperature, but not for the steering wheel. Have you always had that option or was it something that showed up with a software update, or is there no option/checkbox at all?

I never bothered to check the passenger seat because the drivers seat is ice cold. The sweet spot in the lower back of the seat is nice and warm - nothing on the drivers side. |

Now we just need to spread the word and get people reporting this to their service departments so it can get enough attention for a software fix. |

This morning I remote started with the iPhone app so this is happening (for me) whether I am using the app or the key fob. It's as if the system thinks all of our cars are right hand drive. Also, I did confirm that the steering wheel is not heating in my car. I'm curious if the steering wheel heating is dependent on software version. |

Sounds like someone forgot to change the coding for left hand drive versions.
Possibly….

I wonder if this is repeatable even if the car is warmed up? As long as we set the threshold temperature above the outside temperature and remote start it should behave the same. The last thing I want to do is leave my car at the dealer overnight so they can replicate the problem. |

I didn't pay attention before but now I did and I've got an update. Apparently, my car behaves the same way a few others have mentioned. The passenger side seat heat turns on at the lowest setting. The red light turns on for the passenger side with only one bar visible. Nothing on the driver's side. Reason why I didn't notice this before was because it's visible from the outside ONLY until the door is opened (door should not be opened). The second the door is opened, the indicator light turns off. I noticed it for the first time today. I even took a photo for proof. I realise I don't know about the steering wheel heating because I don't idle my car for long. Only a minute or two before I step in (that's because my garage door is closed and I'm too lazy to go downstairs and open it before I start my car and then go back upstairs for whatever reason). Next mission is to let the car idle for longer and see if the steering wheel heats up.

@VipinLJ Thanks for the update. That's great about the indicator light, that's going to make it a lot easier to demonstrate to the service dept. I hadn't noticed it yet myself since it goes off when you open the door.

You’re welcome! I would’ve missed it too hadn’t I bought about taking a peek inside just before I opened the door. It turns off when the Idrive turns on right when you open the door. The display for climate control turns on then too.

Has anyone seen the passenger seat heater behavior in the 11.2019 version of the software or only the 07.2019.
I think this would be a strong case for a dealer to update the software to the latest version.. would be nice to have a direct comparison of behavior Looking at this thread bmw needs a version of SCOTT26 from the software engineering side... I feel like the community can investigate and surface bugs better than their internal QA. |
