The car has these features as they are in the EVIC/Menu settings and I shut them off then back on again just recently to make sure.
We've had this car 4-5 yrs now and I told my wife, despite her telling me differently, that her heated seats, defrost (front and rear) and her AC in the summer do not come on when using the remote start.
I tried finding the info on Impala forums but most were people not knowing temps outside (hot and cold) have to be a certain temperature for these features to turn on automatically when using the remote start. I am aware of those and I am also aware, once the vehicle is started these features will shut off and need to be turned back on manually when you enter the car and start the vehicle normally.
What my wife has been doing is to ensure she leaves the front defrost feature on high and the rear defroster on before she shuts off the vehicle and exits it. This is not needed, according to the manual, if you have these features, which this vehicle does. Her car is the Premier and does have Auto Climate control, heated seats, etc. It is missing (it was another up pkg-$$) the heated steering wheel, however, and an upgraded stereo.
We've also noticed, when we do enter the car and start it like you're suppose to, (foot on brake-push button) the screen for the heater/AC is just one long black line/black screen near the bottom. It does not show the incremental or bar moving across in either direction. This only happens when we use the remote start? Could it possibly be a fuse somewhere or is this something other maybe?
If anyone has even a remote clue, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks...
