I’m thinking that editing the DDM & PDM affects the heated seats, because DM ( door mirrors) and seat position are the two things are saved and recalled. So probably setting the reverse tilt mirrors somehow screws up the remote start heated seats & steering wheel.

On my 2018 Lariat 502A, I seem to have noticed that after enabling the "Lincoln Style" folding mirrors, that I no longer have heated seats functioning. I'm going to revert the DDM/PDM back to stock, and then make my global open/close changes. I like the folding mirror feature, but not that it screwed up the heated/cooled seats.

I have the Lincoln style mirrors enabled on my ‘19 501A, and no problems with the auto seats and cc. I did force forscan to scan all my modules without a profile loaded fwiw. Try a reset as mentioned about before reverting, worth a shot.

I'm not sure if this helps or not. On my 2017 Lariat with heated seats, (no heated steering wheel), when I remote start the truck, the seats do warm up although not on high. Interestingly, when I get in the truck, the button indicators are not lit but I can feel that the seats are actually slightly warm. The seats are not as warm as if I had turned them on high manually. Once I start the truck, I then have to manually press the seat heat button.

Hope that helps.
