Any other ideas? If not I'm bringing it back in. What is the point of an automatic car starter if it doesn't actually warm up the inside of the car or defrost the windows?

The engine has to warm up first for the heater/defroster to work, and you have to set the heat on hot plus turn the defrosters on before you shut the car off the night before. The seats are in the radio menu.

However, the heated seats have to be programmed to come on in the radio's settings. I've had my set to "on" for the last week, but everytime I remote start it, it doesn't feel like they were on....unless they take a long time to heat up. So when I get in the car, I turn the seats on manually and they only seem to take a few minutes to heat my rump up nice and toasty.

Exactly...

Im sure there is some sort of safety thing there so its not on forever... most rear defrosts shut off after a certain time as to not over heat the back window... As for the heated seats, make sure its programmed on the radio settings to on w/ remote start, but keep in mind that its not gonna come on full heat till you're in the car and ignition on, again due to safety while the vehicle is unoccupied... Remember its freezing cold out all night, so a seat being warmed up on half of the warmer power is not going to warm up real quick.... just my two pennies on the matter....

Is there a setting for the rear defrost? I don't think there is. If there is let me know.
I think you have to turn it one when you get in the car. By the way my heated seats get hot/warm before I get in the car.
