[quote=""x555""]After posting how to do this with 1.4.0 earlier and all the talk about the webastos i thought i would check mine tonight to make sure all is ok for when the cold stuff comes

And from the comfort of my sofa i pressed the remote and hey presto 25 - 30 mins later the webasto id still going flat out and the cabin area is warmed up

Queue the flat battery for Mrs x555 in the morning and you in the doghouse!

Nice avatar btw - not fair you should have to consider yourself a grease-monkey though!

i'll be at work by then fella

As for the grease monkey ...ironicaly i had a different avatar pic but couldn't resise it to fit

so even though i can diagnose my x and programe the heater etc i'm still useless at some techie stuff

Just to add that the car only had 10miles left on the obc (missus said that the garage was out of fuel again

) but the heater still worked no probs from the remote and power to pin one

Getting jealous now - mine has never worked since I got the car in Jan.

If I power pin 1 or if the outside temp is low enough, the blower starts up but thats it - no heat. So far I have confirmed that the heater's fuel and water pumps are OK - guess I am going to have to take the unit off and do a strip-down investigatiion.

Hey DM,

Ive got one of these too, it shows on my navigation home screen as Aux heater. Dont know what it does, or how to start it, or stop it for that matter.

From the thread, i See time1 is start time, and time 2 is end time. Is that based upon time displayed in vehicle. I want to test mine tomorrow with the winter freeze coming.

My original post is wrong, timer 2 isn`t the time off it`s just a 2nd switch on time.

You only need to set timer 1 and it automatically runs for 30mins then stops.
