Aux heating. Again

Post by jimes256 » Fri Dec 07, 2012 11:13 am

I know this has been done to death but all the searching and I cant find the how to. Can the obc be coded to get aux heat(i have aux vent) or do I do the talked about maplin remote? Anybody know which remote timer it is from maplin? Thanks!

I don't Think there is a definitive how to on this one. There are so many different results obtained from different people.
In my own experience enabling the obc is a right pain, scanner needed and possibly a webasto circuit board from an e39. That's how I got mine to work. A cheap maplin remote powering pin 1 on webasto is much easier to do but test it will work first by applying +12v to pin 1.::)
