• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

UVO remote start heated/cooled seat options

Look under Climate in that menu, I think it’s supposed to be there (at least on the SX)
 
The book says “You can manage the driving environment by linking the climate controls to the steering wheel warmer and driver’s side seat warmer/ventilation”
Based on that, I wonder if the setting is only on the AWD models as I don’t have a steering wheel warmer in my SX FWD. Can anyone confirm whether they have that option in their infotainment center and whether they have FWD or AWD?

Did you look under "Climate"?
 
It could be only on the AWD's, I have the SX-P and it's on there

Yeah, this is under climate image.webp
Autonatic ventilation just has “Auto dehumidify”, Defoe/Defrost options has “Auto Defog” and Climate features is the rear climate controls.

Interesting. Must be an AWD specific item? Maybe if you get an update to the software on your next dealer visit (if needed, depending on build date) it will be added? I don't know...
 
I’m thinking that’s what is going on here. Otherwise it seems some SX’s have it and others don’t (Possible software update would be the only other thing I could think?)

Edit: Haha looks like we thought the same thing there.
 
yea, ours is under the seat option, then there is seat movement indication and the auto climate is right under the seat notification.

Thanks for the confirmation! Must be an AWD thing then I guess...
 
What trim level is your Telluride? On my SX there is setting in the infotainment to toggle the heated seats and steering wheel based on the climate control temperature. So when I remote start the car and set the climate to say 75 degrees my heated wheel and heated seats will come on with the remote start (assuming it's cold enough outside). The KIA Access app does not have the option to turn on the heated seats, only the heated steering wheel. I'm guessing the EX trim has the option to toggle the heated seats based on the auto climate setting and that the S model does not. So if you own an S or LX model you are probably SOL on having the heated sets come on with remote start unless they add that option to the remote start app.

I believe your are correct!!
