Heated seats when pre-conditioning

[cardsdoc]

I have my 2021 M3LR set to precondition before I leave in the AM and for when I leave work in the PM. This works well for cabin temp but I have noticed heated seats don't turn on till I get in the car. If I remember before I leave I can go into app first turn off climate and then turn on again and then it turns on seats if that's how I had it last set or I just turn it on manually. Am I missing something with the preconditioning not doing it automatically or that's just how it works?

If I recall when I was using precondition a few weeks ago the seats were on if they were on when I parked the car the night before. I stopped preconditioning because it was affecting the exterior temperature sensor.

I have the same situation: I need to remember to turn off climate and turn it back on to have seat heaters turn on. I leave my seat heaters on when I leave the car - they don’t turn on with preconditioning but, when I turn climate off then on, they are where I last left them.

Maybe there is a different trick to get them on with preconditioning? I haven’t tried setting preconditioning on the car screen yet.
