in my 2013 Vogue SE (L405) im assuming i have the interior pre-heater? Is is as simple as buying a remote so i don't have to set a time on it?

No far more to it than that i am afraid if you want Remote park Heat

try to search for Wiggs user on here see if anyone has tried an L405 mod yet Far to many gone...

Firstly, trip to the dealer to get them to enable in CCF on the software (you will probably need to know your dealership quite well in order to persuade them to do this)

This will enable you to have timed climate - so you can set the car to heat etc at a particular time of day.

If you want to have remote park heating then you'll need some parts, which I've yet to discover where they would be located in the car or what the part numbers are. One will be the key fob!

Does anyone know if this'd be the same on my new Autobiography MY14 RR Sport (my Vogue ownership was short-lived in favour of a Sport - but please don't hold that against me?!)

Sport has same running gear as the L405 and same software so yes should be

SDV6 of course Far to many gone...

I don't need remote heating but what is ccf? And is that all I have to get enabled for timed heating to work on my SE?

ccf = car configuration file

Thanks Stan, So does anyone know a "friendly" dealer in the south east who would "enable" mine?

Not one to hijack the thread but isn't this called "coding"?

I have read about all the hidden bits my MY14 BMW 5 Series has that just need turning on. I wonder if the RR can be done at home?

search forum - Wiggs Wiggsy - lol Far to many gone...

In the GEN 1.9 software you can - like the Disco 3 boys do. However, the 405 has GEN 2.0 and now 2.1 - i've tried the gen 1.9 'hack' and it doesn't work, so yet to discover how to get into the CCF without LR intervention.

Park heating with remote is a 1k+ option, so unlikely dealers are simply going to 'enable' unless you have a boot full of beer.

Think as well on that as well it interfaces with the factory same as the software updates, a little like the BMW stuff so would the dealer even be able to activate it ! Far to many gone...
