Precondition not working?

When I first got the vehicle I set up the climate to warm seats and steering wheel and it worked with remote start. The settings are correct but the seats don't heat up any longer. Car starts and steering wheel heats up, seats don't. Any thoughts? Thanks

Was your iDrive updated recently? The seat heating was removed at some point and supposedly was put back in 11/2020.28 (I think that was the version).

The ability to toggle seat heating is in iDrive. The vehicle was delivered 2 weeks ago and I think it has latest version of iDrive. Connected App says software up to date.

Idrive always says software is up to date.

There is another thread on this subject. Mine heats the steering wheel and seats when I do direct pre-heating with the app. When I do a scheduled departure time it doesn't anymore.

Really strange. It used to do both.

Looks like they are messing things up with the updates.

I had a OTA update ,without notification, for climate rules - steering wheel heating. I just appeared in the menu. So I presume they can also do the reverse without letting us know.

Apps and Services updates happen frequently and without notification. You can also do them manually with the Option button while in the App menu.
