i had my remote start installed about a month ago and have noticed that sometimes when i use the it to start my truck the heated seats are on when i get in the truck. it doesnt really bother me b/c its nice to have them warmed up when i get in cuz the winters are f-ing cold here in kansas. just wondering if anyone else has ran into this

it has happend to me a few times but only just recently and when i have heat set to above 80. plus it comes on low. doesn't bug me as long as it doesn't do it during summer here in vegas.

Mine does the same thing I thought the truck itself had a temp sensor or something that automatically kicks them on at a certain inside temp. I have noticed they dont turn on all the time though.

after responding i thought the same thing about the temp sensor. have to look into that.

mine also do this when using the remote start. it has something to do with the ambient temp because it only happens if the temp is below i think 32degrees F. personally,i love this feature.

me too no complaints if it doesn't do it when its 120 outside.

I do not have the auto temp control and it does not happen to me. Maybe it's an auto temp issue.

depending on which interface module that was used in your truck, when the ambient temp in the truck hits 32 degrees they will turn on the low setting. no need to worry bout it in the summer.

thats crazy, i cant believe that it's so common. i figured i'd be the only one and that my remote start was wired wrong or something. thanks for the feedback everyone! :thumbsup:

well the magic number isnt 40 F for my truck. the last couple of mornings that i've used the remote start the temp gauge on the mirror read "46" and "45," and my heated seats were on at the highest setting.
