Remote Start Options


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I just had an OEM remote start installed on my 18’ LT. Are there any sort of options/preferences for things such as to have the heat turn on automatically when remote starting?

 

 My friend’s 17’ Z71 heat comes when he remote starts his truck (his came installed from the factory).

 

 I tried going into the settings screen that has the remote unlock options, but I didn’t see any setting options for the remote start..

I believe it is based on the outside temperature if it is installed like the factory ones. It will kick on once it's below a certain outside temperature to warm your seats or to activate the Heat. Hell I don't know. But I know mine works when it's cold outside and I remote start it the heat seats are on in the heater is running and warming up the truck.

During a remote start, the heated or

ventilated seats can be turned on

automatically. When it is cold

outside, the heated seats turn on,

and when it is hot outside the

ventilated seats turn on. The heated

or ventilated seats are canceled

when the ignition is turned on. Press

the heated or ventilated seat button

to use the heated or ventilated seats

after the vehicle is started.

The heated or ventilated seat

indicator lights do not turn on during

a remote start.

The temperature performance of an

unoccupied seat may be reduced.

This is normal.

The heated or ventilated seats will

not turn on during a remote start

unless they are enabled in the

vehicle personalization menu.

See Remote Vehicle Start 0 39 and

Vehicle Personalization 0 160.

    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”. 
    • I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
    • “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
