I was pleasantly surprised by the remote start today. Our high today was in the 30's, so I decided to see if I could start it from inside work. I was at the door and could see the D, and got it in three presses - one of the first two must not have registered. Distance was over 200 feet. The neat thing was that when I got in, it had the steering wheel and seat heaters on and those were nice and toasty. When I hit the brake and start button, the heat came on and was warm. It would be better if it were blowing heat before I got in, but that should come with the update.

Thanks for the update!
Dumb question, but just wanna confirm... does this mean that the dealers/service technicians are ready with the fix?

Yes, it is a software flash they load from their Chrysler computer.
Awesome. Update comes at a good time with winter just around the corner... Thanks!
