I'm looking to find out if it's possible to remote start, turn heated seats on and have defrost on windshield a preset or automatic function in the winter at my work in the winter?

I'd like to change the run time of the remote start time to be longer also( currently I think it's only like 5 minutes, want it to be 10-15 maybe)

Also be nice if I could see this on my phone to know it's running b/c it's out of site sometimes.

Is there a app maybe?

Thanks Matt

GM has an app for this but I don’t think it will show you if it’s running or shut off after initial start up. I know you can only remote start it twice without inserting the key. As far as the other settings, depending on which radio you have you should be able to set all of those except the defrost in the vehicle setting page. I don’t know if a defrost setting that can be activated.

Remote start lasts for 10 minutes.  If you want 20 minutes, just wait at least 30 seconds, then repeat the remote start procedure of locking the truck and holding the remote start button for a few seconds a second time.  You can't do more than 20 minutes.

 

Under the vehicle settings in the infotainment, look for "Remote Start Auto Heat Seats" and turn it to on.  Keep in mind the heated seats turn off when you insert the key.  Other than that, leave the climate control on Auto.

Keep in mind the remote start auto heat seats fall short of what you'd expect. It seems they are set on low and are barely warm to the touch when you get in. There is a thread about this somewhere on here, pretty disappointing. My old VW with heated cloth seats damn near burned your butt within 5 minutes. GM needs to take notes on this..

GM doesn't take notes very well. If they did they would of opened up the wheel wells by 2" years ago. Or even actually made that retro Blazer. List goes on. ??

 auto setting work good?

I only change from Auto when I have the windows down (no sense burning gas for AC) and when it's around 5°C and very humid (like right after some rain) because the windshield fogs up.  Aside from that, it works great.

What year truck?

 

In the settings in the radio screen, you can enable auto defrost and enable heated seats to turn on during a remote start.  

 

Depending on the year of the truck, remote start is either 10 minutes per cycle or 15 minutes per cycle, maximum of 2 cycles.  To extend it, you simply repeat the remote start procedure again before the 10 minutes is up.  

 

If you have OnStar, you can get the OnStar remote services plan and use the MyChevrolet app to remote start your truck.

16' as I'm trying to see what my remote start setting is my infotainment screen started jumping all over making it impossible to see what was going on...

      Mediocre, how much did they lose on the poorly conceived EV strategy?   I wonder how much the stock price is being 'inflated' by all the buy-backs?   Cadillac literally looks like a brand without a rudder, no clear goals or product direction - performance or luxury? I guess performance because we can throw a small block in whatever we can and call it a day. Certainly not luxury when a Denali or High Country is reasonably cross shoppable. The Celestiq - no way - no vehicle can command quarter million prices when something wearing the same badge is on the buy here pay here lot across town.   Notice the 'base' Escalade doesn't even come with the 'leather-appointed' seating surfaces.   Hummer EV - fail Silverado EV - fail Sierra EV - fail Bolt/Volt EV (The most successful EV cancelled, restarted, cancelled, whatever its current status it)   Hybrids - none Sedans - none Medium duty - not anymore Minivan - none Coupe - none Convertible - none CUVs - 20+/-   6.2 Recall that landed squarely on the GMs highest seller - and specifically the fattest margin higher trims of the Yukon, Escalade, et. al. The most critical product line they fumbled big time. In the Escalade segment, are those buyers forgiving GM for a bad engine and patiently waiting for the fixes and dealing with the headaches? Nope, they dump them and go straight to the other premium brands.   In the ENTIRE GM portfolio how many aspirational vehicles are there? Corvette, Escalade (quickly being superseded by the obvious better value Denali)...   I posted somewhere else... what if Cadillac left the luxury game and became a performance brand similar to AMG or (gasp) Ferrari? Cut all the entry-level and base models from their line up and focus on the V-series or Blackwing or whatever they call it now. Of course, those would have the pre-requisite luxury and technology as standard equipment. This opens the floor for Buick to step in/up as the luxury brand (like they are in China), no 'performance pretenses' get rid of the 'entry-level' models with equally 'entry-level' power trains and become the Maybach to Cadillacs AMG. With those two brands effectively out of the way Chevrolet, the 'entry-level' brand has the floor to itself and GMC can take over as 'professional grade'.    Now each brand has a focus, no in-fighting, clear direction, and customer targets.   Just need to sneakily slide Corvette into the Cadillac brand and dump the vestigial script writing.

      I can't get enthusiastic about the 1.5T (or the 1.3 or the 1.2), I won't drive a CVT. But the stupid things sell in volume.

      There is a big difference in motorcycles and vehicles - nobody needs a motorcycle, they WANT one. That WANT is the most powerful force to drive price upwards.   I've hated every iteration of the Equinox, a prime example of GM laziness. It excelled at absolutely nothing, barely competitive by every metric. At least the latest generation looks decent.    I want to like the Buick Envista, but that pitiful engine plus FWD only is a BIG NO for me, I don't care how good it looks.

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By bwiese · Posted

      Love my new 2026 truck - even as a basic WT it's comfy, rides nicely, etc.   Encouraged by the 100K powertrain warranty.   2nd GM I've ever owned (1st was a 2000SLE with Vortec V6 - loved that truck.) Small question - maybe I'm missing it in the manual? - but I seem to need to press the unlock button first, in order to open driver's door.  (Don't care as much about passenger door.) RKIs: is there any mod/setting change, etc such that when I merely pull the door handle it just unlocks + opens? I have minor concerns about ability to exit regardless of electrical performance. (I'm a bit limited agility w/osteoporosis from hyperparathyroidism - big guy, age 62, range of movement etc issues.) Thanks, Bill San Jose CA
