I still wish the seat heaters and steering wheel would turn on as well. Maybe some later iteration?
I may have found it in the manual. I'm going to check it tonight. It looks like in Pivi you select Climate, and there should be a gear icon on the bottom left of the screen. Sounds like there are settings for the climate in that gear. I'll check and report back. Here's the description from the manual...
  1. Heated windshield button: Press to switch on or off. If left on, the heated windshield deactivates after a timed period, dependent on the ambient temperature.Note: In cold ambient conditions, the windshield and rear screen heaters switch on automatically when the engine is started. The function can be switched on or off via climate settings.

    Note: The heated windshield operates only when the engine is running.
Edit: So if you go into the gear setting icon from any screen, select ALL>
Then find Apps> Climate> the ability to turn on the windshield and rear defrost as "turn on when engine starts" toggles are there.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Now to see if I can find a CCF change for turning on the seats and steering wheel. That would be perfect if that exists.

I agree. My basic 2019 F250 has that feature.

My Jeeps would also turn on the heated seats / steering wheel if you remotely started the vehicle and it was below 40 degrees F. A nice feature and something that should be easy to implement.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Definitely would not have found this otherwise. What a ridiculous sub menu to have this hidden under. (And yes the toggle is turned off from factory)

What does setting them on do? Does it always turn on window heat?
