Remote Start settings
It says it uses automatic settings when using the remote start, does anyone know what settings these are and if they can be changed?
Would love to have the car defrost itself but mine doesn't seem to bother turning the heaters/electric windscreen on and wondering if anyone else had managed to get this sorted

As per MSS911's crop from the manual. Mine works fine, whether by normal start with me inside pressing the button, or via app remote start.
I believe the preference is saved with the profile, so make sure you save the profile again after you've made changes.

Well that's all turned on, on my profile and works fine when I unlock with the key. Didn't know if the remote start used another profile as that's the only place it doesn't work

I haven't set up a profile, and the automatic settings seem to work OK in both normal and remote start. This probably means that the settings used for remote start are those held in whatever the default profile is - since the remote start (i.e. without the keys being present) will have no way of knowing which profile to use. Perhaps try setting them but not saving to a specific profile?

Remote Start has to be one of my favourite features.
As I'd already protected Profile 1 before setting auto defrost & heated seats, I made setting without saving to profile 1st, then locked & unlocked doors, set again, then updated profile.
There may be an unnecessary step there but, only took 2 minutes, & all works as expected.
Was above 0° this morning & everything came on - I suspect there is a temperature, above which, they won't come on - not below freezing though.

Me too - use it loads over winter. Shared car park at work with a lawyers firm, Q7 owner very unimpressed when Audi advised him he can't add it on! I also regularly get a message from my friend with the manual XC40 about how she's thinking about mine when sitting waiting to defrost in the morning !

Been playing some more.
Was 2-3°C this morning & system was smart enough to turn on rear screen/mirrors & seats but not front screen.
Profile settings are definitely kept separate. I changed profile settings to front & rear screen & non-profile to also include front driver & passenger seat. It now behaves differently according to whether or not it is started remotely. Of course, most owners will know this, just updating thread for new/prospective owners.
Only slight quirk with having different settings - profile overrides remote settings as you still have to 'start' the car before driving away (unless I'm doing it wrong???)
