lol, dumb question, but if you remote start a 450, the climate control and seats go to the desired settings ?? do the front or rear defrost also based on outside temperature ??

thanks!!

Sad to see not a single 450h owner will chime in. I wish I could help but I live in Florida and have never used the remote start function before. I would think it used you last settings.

Today at noon, its finally home. So worth the wait. Loving it so far.
The hud is great, so glad i waited for it. I'll post up some details in the morning.

Loving the atomic /black. Pano top, much better than i remember, nice contrast with the grey pillars and roof.
Crazy it can look dark brown or silver just by flipping light switches in the garage.

Phone remote app says pending, time to read and push buttons over the next few days and weeks.

I'll try it when I get home and report back but it'll be difficult because when I remote start and open a door, the truck automatically turns off.

JSracer

Looks like setting resume, seat as well if set to auto.
Not sure about defrost or anything else.

Not sure if im missing something, but the vehicle has no parking lights when remote started? To indicate running.
The 3 lock on the remote is tricky for me too. lights blink like crazy, then dark when running.

I don't use key fob due to limited range. When I get out of car, I set controls where I want them and turn off car. Car is restarted using application on phone.

Thanks DunWkg

So how are you liking?

JSracer

Only 250 miles on it, but loving it so far. So glad i went with the 450. So smooth
The headlights seem great, have not adjusted them.
​​​​The pano roof makes it feel more spacious, and the ML audio sounds very nice. Still playing with settings and pushing buttons, learning all i can.

Paint protection film this week, dropping off tomorrow for a full front and some front door window tint too.
Heater seems to work great, and enjoying the automatic temperature on the seats. The heated wheel is nice too.
Looking forward to many great miles with it.

no snow mode listed on my 4th gen 2017 450 model. guessing it ended in 3rd gen, or the option stayed out of the states. i also have cold weather package.
eco normal and sport are my only options.

hello mates, Glad that there is a discussion thread on this topic as I was about to start one. So I have the same question as JSracer but its more for an 2017 RX350.. Me being in east coast, I always use the remote start option using my phone app .Tried a few buttons and this is what I found till now. . May be I am missing something and thats where I need your help.
1. Steering wheel does not get heaten up automatically when i start remote. have to manually switch it on once i am in the car.
2. even if i put in auto mode while i get down, when i remote start the vehicle next time, it does not heat up properly
3. steering wheel will take sometime to get warm (its just warm enough after say 10mins and stays that way). but by the time, i will be comfortable enough in the car.
4. what should I do to defrost the front and back mirrors automatically while remote start (same question as the OP)

Thanks
Vipin

All those extra auxiliary functions will need more wiring or module option settings. You have to ask installer about this extra thing you want. No sense discussing here.
Seek ouit a real pro. in the business and state what you want to him then he'll answer every thing you want to know. There are so many quacks in the mobile electronics
business, finding good one is by word of mouth or your responsibility. Or move up to more luxury vehicle with all those bells and whistles.

Oh my!!....I thought, that's why the forums are for.Let me clarify. Per my understanding, my car has all the bells and whistles which are required minimum for all those I mentioned above (it has cold climate package and premium package. i missed to mention that earlier). So i have to disagree on your comments on additional wiring and installations. Its just that I may not know how to enable them/disable them. I am posting here so that any fellow mates who were in similar situation can help out. That way i can avoid a drive to the dealership in this severe cold climate in east side. Hope you understand.
