climate control off with remote start

[SpeedyV]

I do like my heated seat and the steering wheel, so there is that.
Must be getting old, sucks.

I remember going for a test drive with my brother (years ago) when he was looking at a Ram 2500. I noticed it had a heated steering wheel and pointed it out. He said, “Oh, I’ll never use that.”

He bought that truck, and I asked how he was liking it when I rode with him a couple of months later. He gave a glowing review...and said the heated steering wheel (in a northern Ohio winter) had turned out to be one of his favorite features

Yeah, i turn it off after around 5 or 10 min drive, the whole heating thing in this car is hot.

Mine doesn't get that hot. I mean, I can still touch the steering wheel. I do turn it off after a little bit.

I agree, it would be nice to have a setting to change the threshold. Maybe in the future.

Pretty sure I could cook an egg on mine!

Exactly. Page 625 of my owner's manual states:

"NOTE: When the “Auto-On Driver Heated/Vented Seat & Steering Wheel” feature is selected, the driver’s heated seat and heated steering wheel will automatically turn on when temperatures are below 40° F (4.4° C). When temperatures are above 80° F (26.7° C), the driver vented seat will turn on."

Mine works as advertised.

The original post is not even about the steering wheel and seats.. the issue is the climate is off when truck is started with remote start.

41 is not cold enough to activate the seats and steering wheel heating.

I understand about steering wheel and seats. They function as design. The issue is climate control.

I missed that, as most people ask about the seats and steering wheel.

My climate control system comes on at previous settings with a remote start. I have it set on Auto, and I store my seat memory settings whenever I make changes to basically anything (except temperature) just in case they’re tied together (many things are).
