I agree with the ability to direct hot air to the windows to help with opening the windows in the cold weather but I find the seats heat up almost instantly- is turning them on remotely a big issue? (It can’t hurt and would be happy to have it but so far have not personally thought it to be an issue).

@stevemc good point on that! Almost forgot watching that video. Hopefully there won't be any issues with that pre heat function when they add that to the app.

Being able to use the app for the heated seats is a huge upgrade. Currently passengers have no wat to turn on the heated seats and iin order to do so you have to activate the climate controls by turning on the heat?? There is no simple way to just turn on heated seats which makes no sense so I am very happy if the update is coming.

That was because he already had a small crack and he didn't clear snow when pre-heating. It simply caused it to expand - it did not cause the windshield to break in the first place.
