It amazes me how counterproductive this forum can be sometimes. The guy made a legitimate inquiry and justified his reasoning. He's looking for answers, not opinions on his lifestyle. Everyone's entit

You can always go out there and start it by hand and it will run until the fuel tank is dry if you want.   Imagine how warm the seats will be, too!   Don't complain about "only 10 minutes", it

You have two, 10 min remote starts before you have to go and start it with your keys, and then it resets the cycle. So if you wait until it shuts off on the first remote start, you can do one more aft

I believe this whole 10 min run limit thing is about liability. I think it's a concern about carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.. Even Chris is pretty conservative about doing much with this.

Your starter isn't going to fail prematurely. You never hear about starters failing anymore. As far as I know it never would run 20 minutes unless you timed it just so- it always added 10 minutes from where you did the command. My 2011 manual says as much too.

Anyone had an issue when using remote start where seats do not heat up/cool. The settings for both are set to "on" but neither works with remote start in my '15 Sierra Denali.

I have only had my vehicle since September, so here (in Edmonton, AB, Canada) I haven't really had a chance to test the auto cooled seats. I can say for sure that my heated seats come on with the remote start, although the lights for the heated seats do not. You can only tell from the temperature of the seat itself.

 

Everything I've read says that when those settings are on, the truck cools the seats on "hot days" and warms them on "cold days", but I can't seem to find what temperature defines "warm" and "cold".

Mike-I'll check closer. The indicator lights not coming on as they have in the past several trucks I've owned concerned me. With only a 10 minute window, they don't have time to warm up a lot but I'll check closer.

I've noticed the same thing and we have the same vehicle. Would love to know what defines warm/cold. The heat comes right now, but I'm thinking that the seats are not coming on as well.

I have noticed my seats heat up on remote start, they aren't as hot as they would be after having them on high and driving around for a bit; but noticeably warm compared to the other surfaces in the truck in the morning. Once I turn the key I still have to turn the heated seats on. I think that's how they are supposed to work though, correct me if I'm wrong.

It's only 39 here currently. I double checked and the HVAC heat comes on, but the heated seats definitely are not warming up even though I have the setting turned on.

Do they work when you turn them on after a key start?

Yep, everything functions normally once I put the key in and start driving.

Different model, but I think this applies.

"The system uses the information obtained from the Outside Ambient Temperature sensor on the vehicle. When it reads 80°F (27°C) or higher, it will allow the operation of the ventilated seats during a remote start. When it reads 50°F (10°C) or lower, the system will allow operation of the heated seat during a remote start. If the sensor reads anything in between these temperatures, neither the heated nor ventilated seats will turn on regardless if they are enabled in the personalization menu."

 

Thanks! Admittedly, I have never looked too hard, but that's the first time I've seen numbers around when they cool or heat. Like you said, different model, but could be accurate.

Canadian igloo is a complete moron. I don’t think you actually live in Canada. At minus 35 C it’s bloody cold and 29 mins is not enough. “Get in and drive” guy, you really are an idiot. Nothing wrecks an engine faster than not warming it up. God, some people on here should just shut up.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
