can I Remote start with A/C on?

hi all,
I have a 2020 GLE350. I'm trying to figure out how to have the a/c turn on when i start the car remotely. i leave the A/C on when i turn off the car but when i remote start it doesn't turn on. I have the Mercedes Me app... but it doesn't have options for climate control. Not sure why. I would love to pay for the service if needed but it doesn't even give me that option.

any ideas?

There's no option because it stays as you set it when you shut down, just like it does when you sit on the seat to start.
Just start the car. The climate will be as you last set it.
Most people just use "Auto" with their selected temps.

You only have 10 minutes of run time with remote start, although I think you can do it twice.

As mentioned, not sure why A/C wasn't turned on when you remote start it since you left it on before leaving...

Are you manually controlling the AC or is the system in Auto mode?

OP, you should put the climate control on auto and turn on a/c and then remote start next time. Or you could do manual for your needs and then always put it back to auto with a/c on before leaving next time.

That's why it's not coming on with remote start.
