Well with the temps in the triple digits, I tried my remote start. I left the AC on, when I pulled into work and started the car just before leaving for lunch. Looking to get into a cool car, but the dang AC wasn’t on, until I put the key in the run position. Is this right? I hope not! Any advise?

I "remotely cooled" my car numerous times this past week with temps near 100. I made it a point to leave the AC on and the fan on #3. Seemed to work...

Remote Start AC
Hi Svzuki,
Please review your vehicle's Owner's Manual instructions for Keys, Doors and Windows, pg 2-4. If your A/c is still on the on setting when you remote start your vehicle the climate control will default to the last setting. If the A/C is still not working properly, you should have your dealer check.
Hope this helps!

I took my car into the shop for this and the sway bars. They told me I was correct and the AC was NOT coming on and the climate control had to be reprogrammed. I have not tried it to see if it's working since they're reprogrammed it, but your thread just reminded me that is something I need to do.
The moral to the story is your climate control may need to be reprogrammed!

I just went out and tried this. It FEELS like the AC is coming on when I start it remotely, but the indicator lights don't come on until the key is in the ignition and turned on. This may or may not be correct about the lights. My indicator lights went off over the weekend and didn't come back on until I turned the car off and back on. So I may now have a problem there.

I tried mine for the first time today. Both my son and I heard the A/C compressor energize right after the engine started but the LED's on the controls were not illuminated. When I inserted the key into the ignition and rotated it to the on position, all of the LEDs illuminated. I don't know if the A/C was cooling the car or not. I didn't give it a lot of time between the start and when I entered the vehicle but it was blowing warm air when I got in.
Yea. I went through the setting and turned off the "turn on seat heaters whith remote start". I started the car and the AC does turn on, the indicator for the AC on the HVAC controls does not.
I'm not sure if those two are related but it worked.

That's good...so the A/C is working using the remote start.
I checked but still not sure why the A/C indicator light doesn't come on the HVAC control. Please check with your dealer if that becomes annoying.
