Default Remote starter! pic

Good morning everyone!
I have been owning the car for a little over a week so far I'm happy with everything!
Is there a way to start your car with the remote but not having your A/C turn ON as the same time?
Thanks a lot

The manual says:

Remote Vehicle Start

If equipped, this feature allows the engine to be started from outside
the vehicle.
/ (Remote Vehicle Start) : This button will be on the RKE
transmitter if the vehicle has remote start.
The climate control system will use the previous settings during a
remote start. The rear window defogger may come on during remote start based on cold ambient conditions. The rear defog indicator
light does not come on during remote start.
So if you have the climate set to AUTO, it's going to come on full blast to get the car to that temp. It's on page 32 of the manual.

Remote starter? I'm guessing this option is not available on manual transmission C7's...

If it's an A8 you should have remote start. My '15 A8 has it and its a 1LT.

Remote start on all automatics, regardless of trim level.

now I know the obvious reason why it doesn't but I think the MN7 should have remote start too. There are aftermarket companies who make remote starters for manual cars, I don't know why GM didn't offer it, simple enough to only start when in neutral and ebrake on and have a clutch start bypass.

Ok, folks, The MN will not remote start. The Auto will start in the exact same AC controls you left it in when shutting down.

The Heated/Ventilated seats need to be chosen in the options. Chose only one option, or none of them will work. In other words, if both heated and ventilated seats are chosen, neither will work.
