VOC APP Now supports Seat and steering wheel heat options

SpaceBoy42 · Nov 13th, 2018, 11:10

Just noticed the latest update on Android has added a new "Comfort Settings" option under "Parking Climate"

It says "Seat & Steering Wheel Heating"

and has the following options

Driver Seat [--O]
Passenger Seat [--O]
Steering Wheel [--O]

I've noticed for some time my car never allows heated seats or steering wheel if parking climate is started from the APP, but works fine if you are sitting in the car and start it from there with the correct tick box selected in the car. Looks like this was supposed to be implemented a year or so ago!

(...forgot to mention this was in Android APP version 4.3.5)

Looks like something specific to T8. I don't see it in my app.

It is on my parking climate, (I have a T8 though) and default is on for driver seat and steering wheel.

On non-T8 cars the various electric heaters will only work if the engine is running.

Standard batteries would drain too quickly as they don't have the capacity to support these high current devices.

Agree. Would be nice if they implement this level of control under the remote start option.
