People mainly get auto start on their cars to prewarm them up when its really cold out or really hot out to cool down correct? Why don't they give the option to have the seat heaters turn on when its dead of winter??

In turns them onto the lowest setting. Light doesn't come on to indicate this however.

I think it is because of the battery issue, when you turn on the heating seat, the power directly comes from the battery using relay. in this condition, if there is fail start, the battery will die soon, maybe that is why?

As noted, they do turn on just very very low and without a light.
The difference is difficult to notice but compare a non remote start day to a remote start day and note the slight difference in the seat and it warms faster.

I got into arguments on this forum over it not working but it indeed does, just barely.

Skip to 1:18 it mentions how the seat heaters come on low but without the indicator light turning on.
