Re: Parking heater remote start- Enabling

I fitted a GSM controller from Advent Controls.
It works really simply and is activated via a txt msg so no restriction on range.
It turns on the heater via pin 1 and when it gets warm, the car turns on the interior heater and heh presto, warm car....  :)) :)) ;)

Re: Remote Keyless Engine Start....

Hi there,

I have enabled my Webasto via a GSM controller, so I can turn on my heater from anywhere via my mobile phone.

Its an easy soloution, and quite cheap at about £60.  And maybe 15 mins to fit it.
This makes my car nice and toastie without being illegal....

Have fun, Richie.

newbie.... :-)

Hi all, Wirral based new to X5 owner. Just picked up my first x5 today, chopped in my old ML320 for it. I am quite pleased with it so far.. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can find out what equipment should be fitted on my car?? One thing I did find is it has an Aux webasto heater that works... :D...
