Hmmm, my '12 R/T turns on whatever I had on when I shut it off with the remote start. I always made sure the heat was up, defrost front/rear was on and seat heaters were on prior to getting out of it in the winter. I hit the remote start and come out 10 min later after work to warm seats and a defrosted SUV. Not sure why mine does that and you's didn't??
The seat heaters automatically turn off when you shutoff the car. They only come back on with a remote start if it's cold enough out. The climate control is always set where it's set at shutoff, but in the summer if you turn on the seat heaters before shutting off the car, they sure won't be one when you remote start it again.

You do realize it doesn't work that way on yours or anyone else's...?

Does anyone know what type of NAV is in the 14 Citadel? I had an '11 Crew with the Garmin nav which was miles better than the one in the '11 Citadel. Have they fixed that, or is the current one also not very user friendly?
Also, how does the 8 speed affect acceleration times?

I would even add dedicated soft buttons to take the place of the shifter. Is all just a switch anyway. I am so old school, I would like to do away with the center consul, I want my honey to be able to slide in next to me.

Our 64 Chrysler had just that - Selectdrive. There were buttons on the dash for Park, Reverse, Drive, 2, 1.

The paddle shifters work great when your towing a trailer. I have a 25 ft and its really likes 6th gear. Come to a traffic light or stop and it downshifts automatically to 1st, then just take off shifting as needed. Tried using just D for the trailer and it hated it.

When all the gizmos are set correctly on the u connect settings it's a dream come true. I have all the fancy euor, jap an italian cars and they all have problems.The best car I have ever owned was a 65 chevelle SS. But as a kid not smart enough to keep it.
