Are the heated seats supposed to come on when you use remote start? I thought I programmed this option but they do not come on. Do I need to take it in for repair?

if they are on when u shut the car off o think they would come on when you remote start

Yea i noticed this also...I know the air comes on but don't feel heat in the seats. I have left them on while i turned off car and also have programmed what i think to be correct through the stereo system which says to heat seats on remote start. But still nothing. Maybe some help from someone?

I programmed mine to come on each time when i use the remote start and it does every time but when you get in the indicator lights will not be on but it will be working if yours doesn't do this it's broken go to dealer

My car is at the dealer as we speak and they are looking into this feature..because my seats DO NOT turn on while in remote start. Has anybody else checked this feature...So far 2 NOT working and 1 saying it does

I set them to come on with the remote start as well, and I thought they did not work because the indicator lights did not come on, but I'll have to test it again to see if they do in fact get warm without the light on.

Mine work.

I've found that if I don't turn the heated seats on before turning the car off, they won't be heating up when I get in the next time I use remote start.

I don't know if this is correct or not, but I know for a fact if I have the seats on when I turn off the car, if I use remote start the next time I get in, the seats are warm.

I believe there is already a thread on this

Yes i found the other thread.. about 90% sayen they get NOTHING and theother 10% sayen they work ..

Do you guys get the indicator lights when the seats heat up with the remote start? That could be a key piece in why people think they aren't working (no light, no work)

I just assumed they weren't on because the light was not lit, so I just hit the button. But they very well could have been on. The car wasn't warming up for that long, maybe a minute or two.

BLKnCHRME09Deluxe · 12-10-2009, 06:07 PM

UPDATE....Just got back from dealer and heated seats only heat seat 20 degrees over outside temps per/chev tech advisors through GM

So i take it when seats are turned on as well as hot air just not enough to make a difference on your rear/behind/down low....atleast now i know...

Also was told a way to tell was to turn them on through auto start let it run and then when inside car feal your back seats then compare them to your front seats and there will be a difference....Good Luck.

kjd15 · 12-12-2009, 11:09 AM

Ok, I tested last night. Indicator lights do not light up, but seats do in fact get heated with the remote start when programmed to do so.

mghawk57 · 12-12-2009, 11:21 AM

Mine come on with the remote start when it was cooler out.Must be the default setting because I don't use the heated seats.My wife uses them (passenger seat) once in a while.Just My .02

It's not the default setting. I had to change mine to come on with the remote start.
