Changes since recent update

[Viewpapa]

Following the recent update related to "Improved Connectivity" I find that when using remote start, either after being plugged in and charging or just sitting, I nolonger get my seat or steering wheel heat to automatically come on. The cabin heats just fine, but nothing else. I have gone into settings for remote start and confirmed both are actuated. I have also tried turning remote start off, seats off, etc., then back on, but no luck.
Interesting thing is, if i just use key entry, both the seat heat and steering wheel heat come on, just as I left them.
Any suggestions?

Seats and steering wheel are on Daylight Savings Time. They come on an hour later.

Our recent and current Temps are mostly above freezing, in the 0 to 5 degree Celsius range. The truck parks in my garage which is currently around 5 degrees Celsius at night.

Your experience is similar to mine following the same update, lucky that spring is right around the corner, hopefully this will resolved in a future update before winter 24/25.

In October the seats start to warm up an hour before you want to leave.

All jokes aside, my truck didn't precondition this morning. I'm guessing due to the time change. New years day it also glitched.

Thank you. I guess I'll just wait and see.

I used departure timer this morning to prepare for a drive to the airport scheduled for a leave time of 3:45, I set the timer to 3:35, it kicked off the battery warming phase at 2:53, timed out at 3:45 as intended, used 8 kWh of energy to get battery and cabin warm, though seat & wheel were chilly.
The event was created Sunday afternoon, though that might be the distinction.

Exactly, I parked and plugged in Saturday night and didn't touch it until this morning. I edited the schedule today. The truck cabin was heating by the time I made it to the end of the block, battery temp was a little cool but it had maintained a 100% power level. Only -6 deg C but I'm so happy to have the heated wheel now.
