Remote Start with Key fob

I just got GLE350 2022 model and I know how to remote start with app but I'm not sure how to remote start with key. I tried pressing panic button for half second but nothing happens. Also, when I remote start with app the heat does not turn on. How do I get the heat to run when its remote started.

Thank you

You must have landed to the site I was in before. You can not remote start with the fob unfortunately. The car also shuts off when you open the door. I haven't had to do heat but cool worked for me. So I would think heat should work.

We'll have an aftermarket remote starter solution for this vehicle in the new year that will absolutely work with the factory key! Stay tuned!

Which heat - seats or vents?

If you turn on heated seats before leaving vehicle, then they should turn on when you remote start. Not sure about vents. I'm guessing that if your thermostat setting is high enough, then that should work as well. Page 158 of MY 2022 owner's manual states the following. Unfortunately, it doesn't continue on page 159.

This is what it said on mine (2020). The heat/cool setting should resume based on whatever you set before. Not sure about the heated/vented seat. My experience with the heated/vented seat (with normal engine restart, not remote start) is that they will only turn back on automatically if you restart the car within a short period of time from previous shutdown. If you wait too long, they will remain off (although I am not sure if it is time based, or condition based).
