I've used remote start a couple of times, and I'm sure the first time round (on a very frosty morning), it automatically started the heated screen/seats etc and had the air con on. Since then, remote start works fine, but the climate control has been off when I've got in the car, and the seats etc havent started. Have I don't something in the settings that's stopped this working, or will this only kick in if the temperature is below a certain point?

It only kicks in below a certain temperature.

Thanks for clarifying deanio! I'll wait for the next hard frost to see that it works again! :)

So this morning was -2, and sure enough the remote start kicked in the heated screens and mirrors, however climate control was stilll off when I got in. Seats and steering wheel hadn’t started either. I do however have them all set to start in the ignition start. Can’t help thinking I’ve changed something somewhere in the profiles that’s stopped this working as I’m sure they all xamemon thenfiest time I tried it! 🤔

I ran remote start this morning and the steering wheel and driver seat heaters were on. Plus the windscreen thingy was on too - all the ice had melted.

Just need to figure out how to get the pax side heater on too.

Climate control was off even though it's set in my profile to be 17c both sides.

Remote climate doesn’t exist in the UK. Only remote start works as there is no parking heater fitted.

Note that when you get into the car after remote starting, the Sensus screen doesn’t show that heated seats/wheel are on until you actually press the starter button. They do warm up, but without any indication.

Thanks for clarifying that. I think that may be what’s been confusing me. I’ve probably not left it long enough for the seats to have started to warm, however the screens have been clear.
