Defroster ON when starting truck?

[Robin]

Is there a way to have the front window defroster come on when starting the truck? If you leave the Seat Warmer or Stearing Wheel Warmer on when you turn the engine off they "remember" and are on when you next start the engine. This doesn't work with the Defroster (front or mirror/rear). Is there a setting I can adjust? I looked through the ones accessible on the dash, as well as in Carista with OBDLink, but nothing is obvious.

Ah, thanks! I hadn't even noticed that there were settings below the "Lock Start Unlock" buttons! I guess I'll just keep the Custom Climate Settings ON until winter is over!

That works, however it turns off the seat warmer that I left on, but the steering wheel warmer stays on! They both come on when I start the truck if I left them on when I turned it off. Any way to have them come on too with the remote start?

Same here - doesn’t matter if my seat warmers were left on when I turn off the truck. They do not come on the next time I remote start the truck. I’ve heard others mention that theirs do. Makes me wonder if it’s just a setting I’m missing, or if maybe that option is specific to certain trim levels.
