I must try this.
Sorry to tell you, but here in Norway we actually do have so cold winter, that my garage here tells me that cars with webasto, that is working, is still not getting the car warm enough. And the owners need to run it for several times after eachother with the result is flat battery, and it does not have enough heating either to get the cabin in the car warm enough. This is in 20 degrees minus, and it happenes most often with people that drives to the grocery store and do not give the car enough time to charge.
The solution here, and has been the last 30 years, is the Defa electric kit, that includes electric fan in cabin, including battery charger and engine heater. The battery charger is not charging full time, only when needed.
I have bought this and I have installed last week. I have tried it and is very happy with it. If you want to check, got to Defa.com.

have just completed installation of webasto t91. wouldnt work at first, no wbus. bought oval timer, wanted to use t91 to switch oval timer. all lovely when i tugged wire too much and busted contact. timer still worked, no instant flame though. then bought a wbus converter from danhag.de. takes constant +ve and converts to wbus or heaters own protocol(webasto). now remote and timer working. downside, getting expensive, upside, can run heater whether car awake or not and temp > 5C. worked today at 10C. now want to use gizmo output to drive fan relay. There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary, and those that do not

Hi all,
Trying to wire in my 1533 timer but cant get the FBH to fire, tried unplugging the power but still nothing.
Does the temp have to be low for it to work? The car has not been started today but the temp is around 20oC at the mo.

Sorry, I need further help 
The FBH kicks in "low fan" then goes into "high fan" mode with "jet fighter sounds" and the exhaust gets hot gasses but then it all stops dead after only one min (ish)?
