Have not checked in my 2025 yet. They removed that feature from the app. Surprised as I thought GM paused OTA updates. How about some fixes as well.

Completely worthless. Why would I want the HVAC blower on with the windows down?

They are trying to accomplish 2 things, one is they start to evacuate the hot air out of the A/C vents and get the cooling of the air started as the compressor runs, and two the fan is starting to push some of the hot air out of the cabin since the windows are down.

I had the same opinion, but did the software update anyway. The following response makes the update sound desirable for some owners. I have that feature disabled, because the weather changes every 20 minutes here in Tennessee (especially during the current storm season).

I live in Florida....It's habit for me to crack all the windows when i turn on the A/C, so the hot air has somewhere to go. Run it for 5mins, then close it up. I also know people who have verts, or even sunroofs....They like fresh country air but don't like boiling, so they drop the windows and open the sunroof and slider(or drop the top), while running the A/C. Not for me, but it's done all the time here.

This 'feature' doesn't seem to make a lot of sense...
Without the engine running and the AC compressor active, blowing hot air out of the vents seems like a minimal benefit at best, why not just remote start and let the AC work for a few before jumping in? Now, if I can remote start it and then roll down the windows to let the AC blow the hot air out that might be different.
Either way my 24 doesn't have the update available yet anyway, says I am up to date.

I hadn't even thought of that, but I tried it and it works like a charm! Double unlock, windows down, lock, auto start, vroom with AC and seat ventilation on! Awesome with no update needed.

Has anyone actually tested this? I did the update. It doesn’t appear to work. Windows down. No fan. Ideas ?

I can’t even get the windows to go down.

It’s probably turned off in the menus, some people don’t want the feature for fear they will roll down the windows by accident if the key fob is pressed in their pocket, or in the pouring rain. I have the feature enabled since it takes a press unlock sequence followed by a press and hold unlock sequence to get it to work, if that isn’t working for you then the feature is disabled in the menu.

It is enabled in the menu but never worked. I will have the dealer look at it when they replace the video processing module for the intermittent camera issues.
