Remote start and heating question
Guys,
Does anyone know if its possibly to remotely adjust the car temperature settings after you've done a remote start through VOC? I understand that the setting from your last use are maintained, however if you happened to have turned off the fans (as I often do) or not left your seats/wheel heaters on, then the remote start provides little benefit on a cold morning. If this option isn't there, this is definitely something Volvo should look to integrate into VOC. Cheers |

I have managed to save a default temperature that persists when I start the car even if I set the temperature to something else when I turned it off. I have also set the car to turn on the heated seats and steering wheel if the outside temp is cold enough. What I haven't tried turning the air con completely off so I don't know if the car will turn it back on.
You need to save your profile then lock your profile for the car to remember the temperature. For the seat heating: The automatic function starts heating the seats when the ambient temperature is sufficiently cold. 1. Tap Settings in the center display's Top view. 2. Tap Climate. 3. Under Auto Driver Seat Heating Level and Auto Passenger Seat Heating Level, select Off, Low, Middle or High to activate/deactivate the automatic function and select a level for the driver's and passenger's seats.

The seats and steering wheel heaters will still only come on when engine running so as not to run battery down, but saves you turning them on manually. For those without remote start.

I've made the 'climate' setting changes, many thanks. Regarding setting the temperature, when you say 'lock your profile' did you simply select the 'protect my profile' option? Thanks Chris |

Have you guys actually checked that the temperature you've selected for pre-heating is actually being utilised or does it just happen to be close to the system temperature which, according to the manual, cannot be changed?
During preconditioning of the passengerI read somewhere that the preset temperature is ~20c and is dependent on the outside temperature.

Quick Remote Start tip for iPhone 6S and higher users: Firm press the VOC icon to access remote start directly. It immediately loads the app and starts the remote start procedure, a quick fingerprint touch to authenticate and you're away.
Screenshot attached. :wq
