I have been seeing a few posts on one of the FB Raptor groups for a similar problem I have had recently.
After the last update (for me, Feb 18) when I would start the truck with the key fob, my heated steering wheel would not come on.
Also heated seats were somewhat random. Sometimes level 3 sometimes not at all. It was 19 degree F out... so it was cold enough.
All the settings are correct in the Remote Start setup. I tried several different things and still same issues.
This is on a new '24 802A.
Today, I finally had a chance to do some Forscan updates. While I was in there, I poked around in one of the modules that controls the heated wheel and seats. I was in the plain english section (APIM I think).
The heated wheel was set to disable for automatic.
I changed it to enable an now it works with the keyfob. (I only did one remote start, but the wheel heat was on after the start, wasn't at all before).
Hope this helps someone.

on my 2021 the seat heat will only come on automatically if I had them on when I shut it off. Not sure about the wheel. I almost always have that on so it's on when I remote start or start inside vehicle.
