they did have a bad go for a few years and now they are back in form, beyond stoked with the performance of this one

Good to know. Leaning towards yellow top

I've got a 24 Rubi with the Aux battery disconnected.
I have been getting the "Aux Switches temporarily unavailable". Now I'm also getting the "Remote Start disabled".
It was working until it got below freezing and now remote start is not working.
This morning I tried starting remotely and no go. I started it normally and the Aux Switches were also disabled. I started it, ran it for a few minutes until the Aux Switches worked, then it started remotely. So I'm leaning to the battery which is 2.5 years since purchase.

My battery just turned one year, and I have the same issues, so I don't think it's the main battery.

What brand battery?
I tried remote starting mine today now that it's 45 degrees, no problem after sitting overnight.
I'm going to check again once it gets cold again.
I'm leaning toward the battery.

Duracell Ultra Car Battery | Group 94R | 800 CCA | Platinum AGM - SLI94RAGM at Batteries Plus
Mine worked also at 40 degrees yesterday, but today at 34 degrees same old sh**
When I test the battery after sitting overnight it reads OK but needs to be charged, I disconnected the only thing that could be draining it (dash cam) but still got the same results.

I'm thinking Optima?
Also have read ALOT of stuff about finicky things happening when the battery is just slightly low.
The fact that mine happens in synch with the Aux Switches being temporarily disabled, plus being tied to cold and not driving for one day, is leading me to the battery. I'm going to give it another couple of days then change the battery.

When my battery was brand new (1 year ago) I did not have this problem for the first winter, but my Jeep is garage kept and never gets below 32 degrees also, and I did notice my aux gauges do not work right away sometimes also.
