Several times when using command start the A/C comes on instead, even though it was on heat last time the vehicle was used.

Yep, it sounds like the BCM is out causing this issue, to be sure we can do a CAN scan, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is the location of the BCM, you can get a preprogrammed unit by searching Google or Ebay. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
