Hi guys,
I noticed when I used the auto starter in the morning, the heater doesn't blow hard or even at all in cold weather. This was not the case when I first got the remote starter. My heater was blasted if the temp dropped below 50 degree F in the past (I know I know southern Cali people get cold if it below 60 degree F), but recently when I came out, my interior temp is cold and I couldn't hear the fan on. AC worked well if it hot outside. Is there something I might have tripped? Heater worked fine during normal usage. Thank you all.

 

The system knows when the air coming from the heater is warm and will increase the fan speed at that time, either via remote start or when you're in the car. The car will take forever to warm up just sitting, running, in cold weather.

 

^great input!
Modern cars are built in a way to get up to operating temp the quickest by driving the car. NBPaspec is correct that idling the car will take forever to warm it up

 

Yeah I agreed with the engine temp and driving. What I find is that lately I don't hear the fan on, or even feel any warm air when using the engine starter on a cold morning. This was not the case in the past. What's weird is yesterday when I came out for lunch, the temp was around 60ish and the damn heater was on and I can hear the fan as well. Find it odd that the fan is on high when the temp is warmer than morning cold start. I just want to see if anyone having a similar issue or know if I might have change something that affecting the heater.

 

^most modern cars withhold full blast heat on cold start ups, until the engine gets warmed and actually blows warm air.

 

I get the part where engine need to be warm to get heat in the cabin. I do get decent temp in the car by the time I get to my car in the past when I used the remote starter, but lately is almost none. I just thought I might done something wrong or something is wrong with the auto setting where I get nothing now "comparing" to when I first got the starter. The fan worked well if it hot though, my AC on full blasted lol.

 

hmmm this is weird. Finally got a car washed last night after 2 months being dirty. This morning came out, my heater was on like the way it was in the past. Not sure if the car wash made any different hahaha
