Can't wait to try this out. I'll share my experience.

I'm glade I came across this thread because I suspected something was happening but not sure. So I noticed this a couple of weeks ago and after the 11/2019 update. So on a remote start the climate rules are activated and the steering wheel came on. Within the Climate Rules I only have options for Seats heating or venting. My thinking is the steering wheel
Is activated if the heated seats are activate. I would hope that's the case because as the summer comes I'd hope the steering won't be activated with a remote start. I'm glad my X5 is catching up to my Jeep GC Summit. I stand corrected. My seats don't come on with Remote Start just the steering wheel. That's weird.

Update to my earlier post seems to indicate that the steering wheel heat comes on either at every remote start or a temp above 40f. I've got climate rules set to bring the seat heat on at 37f but they don't come on with the remote start for me, only when I get into the car and press the start button (not sure if I had the seat belt on before or after I noticed the heat being on).
I'm on 11/2019.40. |

tested again this afternoon, it's 50 degrees in Atlanta, so not very cold. However, the steering wheel was definitely on, and both me and my passenger thought the heated seats were on too - albeit on the lowest setting. I have the climate rules to turn on at 40 degrees. So this is definitely independent from that.

Remote start turns on heated steering wheel?
There is a coding available that might give a menu control to whether steering heat comes on automatically as well as the temp threshold.
@ifr posted it elsewhere and I've posted it here before, but in the context of giving automatic control for all seat heating & cooling (driver, passenger, rear left, rear right), and steering heat. It may be that BMW decided to enable auto steering heat, but neglected to provide menu control. Here are the FDL parameters just for steering. I would guess menu control is HU_MGU, but it's worth having a look at all 3 below: BDC_BODY3/7083 (on G05)
HU_MGU/3E52 (on G05)
