Gen2 R1S 2nd Row AC Sync

[mbaran]

For the life of us cannot figure out getting the 2nd row AC to run when the first row is run for the kids. Seems like when one of my kids sits in the car and buckles it will usually kick on, but the younger one in a car seat it seems to work sometimes. I even installed a fake buckle so the car always thinks the 2nd row drivers side seat is buckled.

Is there a weight/occupant sensor too?

They can control it from the back screen but you can also sync it from the main driver's screen. I don't think it has got anything to do with the seat belt buckle.

It's synced, we've hit that toggle 100 times, no change. They're younger so the rear screen is locked.
I've read other threads that indicate the seat belt buckle can have the 2nd row not run to conserve energy. seems to indicate that using a car seat with anchors may stop the 2nd row from running.

Unfortunately I'm not sure there's much to be done about the car seat situation. It does use the buckles as well as a weight based occupancy sensor (new for gen 2). I'm guessing the permanent buckle isn't working, because it probably assumes it's just a car seat permanently buckled in, rather than an actual occupant.

Thanks, that was my fear. Like I said it does seem to work sometimes so maybe she is close to the weight to trigger it. It does work when my older one gets in though.
