Can anyone tell me how to keep the a/c from turning on when I start the vehicle? I turn it off every time so I know it isn’t my “use last settings” in the climate menu. First world problems I know... just annoying that I can’t figure out how to turn it off.

auto climate is off
Temp set to 71 degrees
Rear climate is turned off

I'd imagine most people are thinking you tried everything so no reason to respond. I thought there is one more setting for climate adjusting to ambient temperature. A/C when it's hot outside, Heat when it's cold, etc. I know I have it on for me anyways so have to imagine its same for your '20. Pretty sure it's a diff setting from 'last set' cause I always let car run for a couple minutes and great to have it cooled down or heated up respectfully.

I have a setting in the auto start menu on my 25 that I use to control this..... I am not sure how that correlates to the 20-24 models though. I did just google it and found this though:
  • Use your vehicle's SYNC screen to access the settings.

  • Navigate to Vehicle Settings.

  • Select Remote Start Setup.

  • Choose Climate Control.
