Default Remote start/ climate control?

I've checked the manual but can't find an answer for this. I have a Lariat 502 and when I remote start the air conditioner won't come on until I push the button, in fact the radio doesn't come on either until the button is pressed, can I change this in the settings, thanks!

the radio not starting is I believe normal.
On the 13s, there is a sub-menu in the Settings specific to the Remote Start that lets you pick either "Last Setting" or "Auto" for the AC, seats, heat, etc...
I can only assume it's the same in the '15.

Be aware that the lights for the A/C won't be on if you remote start until you start it for real. AC will be blowing cold air but the lights indicating it's on weren't lit until I turned the key.

This. You have to actually push the start button to in fact "turn on"the truck. The equivalent of having to put the key in and turning out to stay if you used a key. Every command/remote start I've had has worked this way

Ya can set it to automatic or last setting. Automatic worked fine in the winter but in the summer hasn't been good, like the ac wouldn't go on so I changed it to last setting.
