Remote Connect App doesn't turn on the front defroster?

[willcasp]

I am a big fan of the Climate feature in the remote start section of the Toyota app. If you have not tried it, check it out. You need to set the features before you start the car. The app does retain the settings. I am having one problem. I have the sliders for both the Front Defroster and the Rear Defroster set to on. I have the temp set to 75, and the driver seat heat on. I notice that all of my settings are working, with the exception that the front defroster is not on. Anyone else having this problem? The temperature on the AC is set properly the app, and the seat heat and rear defrosters are on. The problem is just the front one does not seem to turn on with the app and remote start.

i havent notice it yet, but then again it really has not gotten cold enough here to justify seat/steering heaters yet or remote starts.

its only hit 26F so far. maybe saturday when it hits 9F i might.

I submitted "feedback" through the Toyota app. Will see if that gets the problem fixed.

Looks like the recent update to the app fixes the problem. I cannot seem to find the version number for the app anywhere. However, I am wondering if the feature may have always worked.
Since the app update, I walk up to my vehicle and both the front and rear defroster are on. This is how I have it set in the app. No surprise. When I hit the unlock button on the FOB, the front defroster shuts off, and the rear defroster stays on. Not sure if that is new with the latest app release, or if that is the way it has always been, and I had not noticed.
