Mine was 49 on the end, so it went up to 52.
Turn the ignition off and on and it's there. Sorted.

The engine don't start. The little diesel burning under the air box fires up. You can hear it humming.
That's for the Aux heat.
It will warm up the coolant, pump it round the engine and heater matrix. It's not boiling hot like the engine does, but enough to melt ice and take the chill out of air on the cold mornings.

I set the aux fan up to turn on for 45 minutes before I finished work and to run for 45 minutes. The cabin was cooler and it never took any bars from the battery monitor.

Happy with this little mod.

Great stuff, thanks for that Scott
Will update you as soon is done...if it works with mine. Can't see why it wouldn't as the module I'm connecting to is Auto HVAC not HVAC, or all off them are called Auto HVAC.
It's probably one of those function which is fitted as standard, but disabled if you don't pay for it as it's classified as extras

Any luck with finding a remote for it Scott??

...or or or, how about a GSM module which would allow you to do it all from your phone, how cool would that be

Not very OEM though is it?

[M-A8]

Ooooh, come ooooon. It's better than a remote, it would allow you to do it from bed and OEM not, hmmm?
As long it's not visible it's fine

PS, just posted something you may find interesting in your AC thread

reminds me of the old Clifford and Toad alarms where they had all this extra bits of kit you could plug.

Sourced from there and you may want to read it as it looks like you may need extra bits Scott.

That's for the remote start and such.
I'm not that bothered about that really.

Reading that guide and what Snapdragon said, I'll need the recirculating pump to stop it from overheating.
