It was another cold one in Toronto this morning and gave a chance to check the remote start again. The car was completely snow covered and I didn't use a brush to clear off anything in the below pictures. You can obviously see the front and rear defrosters came on and did their job, the steering wheel heater was on, and (once again) I'm going to say that my heated seats were on. Most likely at the lowest setting. The seat bottom and back was warmish to the touch, and the side bolsters, head rest, and center arm rest were all very cold to the touch (leading me to believe that the seats are on). There's no way they just happen to be warming up in the center of the seats for no reason.
Also, something for the US folks here to check. If you try to shut off the engine after remote starting it through the app, do you get this message about "stop heating and cooling to your vehicle"?

Are you using the remote start on the FOB, or through an app? Because my car does not do what yours does when I use the remote start on the FOB...and unfortunately, the Connected Drive app has been bricked since the day I took delivery. I am waiting for the dealer to offer a fix.
When I remote start using the FOB, it just starts the engine. When I press the brake and start button, the seat heat comes on (I have it set for 45 degrees or less), and I have to manually press the steering wheel heat button. If the app does what you show in these pictures, I definitely need to get that going because I want the car to totally defrost before I get inside...... |

Yeah I wondered about this as well. You would hope the fob would envoke the same climatize options as the app, but ya never know?

I'm confused. Why would being in Canada be a factor in how this all works? Why would it be different in the USA? I checked and I am running the latest iDrive software as well.....

By latest do you mean 11.2019.40? That's the latest I've seen reported by other users, and what I'm hoping to get installed next week when I take my car in. |

Now hear me; I'm not saying they are intentionally lying, more like actually perceiving something that's nonexistent. But I digress.. Any physical indication that the heated features are actually active, upon remote start, other than a subjective feedback of it being "warm," would conclusively convince me of their claim. |

Also, how do you explain my pictures above? Are you trying to say that I am mistaken with the front and rear defroster as well? And if you concede to that, why is it so out of the realm of possibilities that the seats and steering wheel would heat up as well?

Why would the vehicle not indicate the heated steering is on, while it's active. It just seems off.. Let's just agree to disagree until we can get something conclusive to confirm this. |

This is a remote climitization scenario, meaning you are not intended to be inside the vehicle when this is happening. A better question might be why would it indicate any of these functions are active if no one is in the car to see the indications? Even after you open the door and sit down, iDrive and other user interface features are dormant until you press the Start button to leave remote start mode.

Why not the heater steering marker? A little Easter Egg? Look, I just have my doubts but it's just opinion. |

So what about the front and rear defrost buttons not lighting up? You conveniently skipped my question.

I wouldn't think that was so funny except that he simultaneously accuses other people of being hostile, when they're nowhere near as offensive...
