FBH Fuel Burning Heater

Parked next to me this AM was a FFRR....when I got to my D3 I could hear the FFRR FBH working away & the ice was niceley sliding down the windows either the owner had triggerd it to come on or it had a timer....

Question - can ny D3 be made to operate this way ?

I realise in the original D3's there was this facility...& other D3's had their FBH's turned off & owners had to get a Webasto or Ebersprecher mod to make them work...

I just wondered if anyone had cracked the software side of things that made the D3 FBH work independantly.....

My FBH did start up when I started the engine I thn used the heated screen to give me a clear view......nice but not as nice as it could be.

Simple answer - Yes.

Either by timer, timer + remote control, or timer (?) + GSM 'phone.

Searc the board - lots of posts on this topic.

Martin...

Is it 5 years....time flys when you are enjoying yourself.......so they say
& in the early years on here - well maybe best left unsaid

I honestly didnt see the point in auto control FBH's till today.....OK the D3 defrosted itself
I also had to hack ice off a nieghbours Glof that took me 25 mins + I got frostbite doing it

It was the casual way the FFRR owner just got into his vehicle & set off.....COOL !

Thanks for the data
