FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck
Here is what System Operation says about Remote Starting. I also attached the full pdf. According to this, if its colder than 32 degrees, if you have it set up correctly, when the truck starts the seats should be on high. I think I would be checking for DTC's especially if the heater doesn't work at all.
This is for both the plain heated seats and the heat/cool seats.
Remote Start Climate Operation
Different climate control modes/preferences can be selected when the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. This can be accessed through the message center. For additional information on how to set the remote start preferences, refer to the Owner's Literature. When the driver seat and/or passenger seat is set to AUTO mode, the driver/passenger heated/climate controlled seat activates in full heat mode when the outside temperature is less than 0° C (32° F) and full cool mode (climate controlled seats only) when outside temperature is greater than 27° C (80° F) any time the vehicle is started using the remote start feature. No heated/climate controlled seat adjustments are recognized during remote start operation. Once the ignition is cycled ON, the heated/climate controlled seat turns off.

This didn't work for me either. Now I have zero DRLs again. I'm about to start beating my head against the wall on this one mod. Like I said earlier, I've done the Lincoln mirrors, and a couple others and it works fine. I can get the DRLs WITH the turn signal but not just the halos

Pain having to remember to make sure everything is set right after getting home... Hate to tell you how many times I have had to restart the truck just to turn on the max defrost..

When trying to do this for the first time on my 2015 Lariat FX4, I got to the part where Forscan reads the modules. It gets to about 97% done then gives me an error message that the battery voltage it was expecting is 11.6 volts, but it is reading only 11.5 volts. I'm using Forscan with just the accessory mode on. Am I doing something wrong?
If you use a charger, make sure you put the negative lead from the charger anywhere except on the battery terminal.

Figured this was probably reason my outlets never work right after shutting down.. Even with the battery monitor set to off..

And right now I'm running last setting on the remote start, with seats on high wheel on and MAX defrost as this is the only way to get anything done for the 15 minutes of gas burned... And even this barely gets the windshield melted..

If you go into the IP, setting, remote start, last setting you can have it now as long as you remember to turn everything on before turning off the truck..

I will say the heated steering wheel works great with the remote start when set to auto.
