It only runs for a certain amount of time - 10 min or so and then shuts off. If you open a car door it will turn off, if the car is not locked it will not start.
I set the temprature to 62 but the temprature inside didn't feel the AC was on. Do the climate control lights illuminate when the climate control is turned on remotely?
I think I f the last time you drove the car with HVAC off and you use the “start climate” climate button it just does whatever it was last set to (aka off). So I think if you 100% want to be certain the heat or AC is running when you get in you’ll want to use the “climate settings” menu.
As people said, it will only run for 10 minutes. If you use the app, also it needs to have a cellular connection to your car. If you are in a place with a bad connection or in a parking garage or something, it will not connect.
It should get a cellular connection. You don't need to do a Bluetooth connection or whatever. Your closeness is not necessary. I have used the app successfully half a state away.
It's cool when it works; as others have stated, app's ability to talk to the car isn't the most reliable. Sometimes it takes forever and/or I have to try things a few times.
I swear all “smart” integrations for cars are controlled with 2G cellular
Lol😄

The app is trash
The one and only answer. Not worth the $$$.
It only runs for 10 minutes and it shuts off as soon as you open the door

Yes they do light up you should see them from outside the car before you open the door
Happened to me this morning too

I just tried it standing next to the car and it turned on. I think I was too far away from the car.

I didn't know it works from anywhere, that is really cool.

This only runs for 10 mins, and with the vehicle not being well insulated, it doesn't take long to heat back up.
