Remote Start Climate
I have my remote start climate settings on “auto.” When I remote start on a cold morning, the heater comes on and my steering wheel heats, but my seat dues not. When I punch the start button, the seat heater shows full power and begins heating. Is the seat supposed to heat on remote start (before I hit the start button to enable driving) , or is mine faulty?!

Thius may but it. Not sure I knew I had to specifically turn on the seats. And yes,,,, I can’t leave mine on high very long.

I have an XLT Premium. On several coolish mornings I have remote started the truck and found even though the "brains" are "off" there is a little bit of cabin heat running and the seats are just a little bit warm. Turn the key on and all the brains start up, and the heated seats go to highest level on the drivers side at least. Sweet Wife says her side is warm enough.

Yes, there is no indication until the truck is turned on by key or button.
