default a/c settings with remote start

Unit is a Compustar Cs800s using the CM800 control unit. Anyone know why when i use the remote start, the A/C temp defaults to 75 degrees. When using the key to start, the A/C restarts using the same temp from when it was shut down? Also what if anything can be done to remedy this issue? Thanks

If the a/c system works normal with the key. I would check your remote start wiring and make sure the remote start is powering everything up the exact same way as the key . Meaning ignition is being power as ignition not accessory and vise versaIf i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

That's a side effect of the luxury of driver personalization. The car remembers the climate control settings based on the key used, and since the remote start doesn't use your key to start the car the settings it gets on the climate control are way different. No known real fix that I know of. The work around is to remote start the car, set the climate control the way you desire for the next remote start and shut off the remote start. The next remote start will have the climate control recall this setup.

Yes all connections have been re checked. Thanks

That sounds like what is really happening. Thanks

General interest, same applies to VW/Audi models according to Xpresskit.

I do find it odd that nobody has figured out how to circumvent this situation. I would think supplying a ground or power somewhere, like the key likely does, would fix it.

You can do it if you can add a CPU and write the code for it.

Im surprised they would make it that complicated to change.

What kind of car?
