I tried something this evening and learned something I didn't know. After getting into my 2012 JKU, I hit the remote starter. I hit the unlock button on my remote and the speed of the fan decreased greatly. I tried it again and realized that when you use auto start the fan comes on full blasé regardless of the dial setting and the defrost comes on automatically as well. This is great because I don't have to remember to set the fan and turn on the defrost when I park in the evening. My question is, does the auto start also adjust the temperature adjustment automatically based on the temp outside? Or do I need to make sure that is set when I part?

 

This is a temperature triggered feature(when it's below x temp outside) and as far as I know go's to the hottest untill you unlock/open your door

Does it go to the coldest setting in hot weather?

 

No it it's above x temperature it won't engage as far as I know

Mine will turn on the ac full blast in summer when remote started. I know my dads gc will turn on heated seats and heater in winter and opposite in summer

 

From what I've heard the temps are anything below 40F it will turn heat and defrost on full, anything above 80f will turn in A/C full all regardless of setting, I haven't seem the cold work but the heat defiantly does.

 

My jeep is a 2012 as well and for the first winter I had it the heated seats would come on with the remote start but this year it doesn't I earlier in the year I thought it wasn't cold enough but still as it gets colder they don't turn on could I have shut something off or maybe it is just a glitch in my system. it was nice and I'm starting to miss it
