Just in time for winter...remote climate retrofit

My L405 did not come with remote climate from the factory. So today I retrofitted it using genuine parts and a quick CCF update using my IID tool.

Nice and toasty just in time for winter! Very Happy Kev

What did you need to do? Was it case of just fitting the receiver unit and getting a remote? 2004 4.2 SC Japan Spec

Absolutely. I had it on my L320 and I knew I was going to miss it. It's a cheap little mod too - I paid £20 for the remote and £30 for the receiver on eBay. Kev

Bargain.

Did the same on my D4 a good while back now. So I can toasty that up on a cold morning before work. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Wait...is this a remote start for the L405?

Yea if you have a parts list and how-to I’d love to do this as my L405 is my DD and winter is coming

I don’t have an IID tool but assuming the dealer/independent could do it? 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

It's not remote start (as in, engine start) but remote activation of the fuel burning heater to warm the cabin.

I've just taken some pictures so I'll get a guide up tonight... Kev

Oh drats. I Think that’s a Euro thing....don’t Think we have that in the states. Can’t believe a Range Rover of all cars can’t do a proper remote start/heat/cool. Vehicles 1/4 the price have it from the factory. 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC
