First couple days I had my truck I remember the seat heater and steering wheel heater coming on when I remote started the truck, now they do not.

Can anyone point me to the setting location to enable this? I can’t find it. When I look through the settings I get to a place that states this…where is the Comfort Activation Temp?

If the outside temperature is above 40°F the heated seats and steering wheel do not turn on automatically with the Auto-On. If it's not on check the temperature that the truck sensor is reporting on the dash/radio

^^This^^
Even when the temperatures are cold out, well below the 40 degree F threshold, I've noticed the auto on heated wheel and seat isn't. Looking at the outside temperature display I notice the truck thinks it is well above 40 degrees F. I soon realized if the driver's outside mirror is exposed to the east, the morning sun (when we have clear skies) increases the internal temperature inside the mirror well above the outside temperature. I try to park the truck to avoid exposing the driver's outside mirror to the east.

Good to know. It should be closer to 50. 40 is still cold!

Anyone know if AlphaOBD will let you change the temp they come on at?
