Heat blows cold until it heats up

[LCinDC]

Has anyone found a way to keep the fan off while the heater heats up? My biggest frustration with the Prologue so far is that when it's been well below freezing out and I'm already cold, I have had to endure up to 5 minutes of cold air blowing on me before the air finally starts to warm up. In an ICE, we just wait for the engine to heat up before we turn on the fan. My salesman told me an EV would have instant heat (you know, like a small electric heater one might have at home). When I mentioned my experience, I was told to take it to their service department, and service said when they tested it, it "only" blew cold for 2 minutes (it was much warmer that day) and this, they say, is within Honda specs, so there's nothing they will do about it. Are we really to believe Honda engineers think we want cold air blowing on us when we turn on the heat?

Totally agree. It'd be sweet if Honda had a feature to hold off on the fan until the air's warm. You could also just warm up the car with the app before you hop in, so the heat pump gets going. Plus, have you tried putting the climate control on 'Auto' instead of manually changing the fan? Some systems do their own thing in that mode.
