I discovered that that the remote won't start the heater if one of the doors is not fully shut. I plugged in the car to charge for the night and charging started up OK as normal. I hadn't realized that the passenger door was slightly cracked open though. When I woke up the next day and used the remote to turn on the heat, everything seemed normal on the remote but when I got to the car about a 1/2 hour later, there was no heat!
It looks like they have programmed the heat not to come on if the car senses an open door. The charge up was OK though. Everything has worked fine since then with the doors fully shut.
I haven't tried to test it for AC though. That reminds me, are people running their AC for 5 minutes once a week as the manual says to do?
