FBH T91R Remote

Click image to enlarge

Morning All,

My car is a march 2012 4.4tdv8. It didn't come with a remote for the FBH and I thought I'd do a bit of digging to see whether it would work with one. Found this in the boot which has 'Telestart T91R' on it.

I'm finding a load of conflicting information about which remote will work. Should I buy the T91R remote with the fan icon and off buttons or the version with the on/off icon?

Seem to have read a lot of comment saying the T91R will only work with the 2013 onwards newer models!

Any help much appreciated!

Sorry I don't know the answer to the question but the guy I bought my RR off said that these can kill the battery. Anyone know? 2009 TDV8 3.6

Exactly the same as me!
My '12 plate Westminster came without an fbh remote so bought one off ebay marked T91R [which naturally one would think is correct as the gismo in the boot says T91R] but didn't/wouldn't work.
Researched as you've done & it appears that just a T91 remote is needed, again found one on ebay, synced her in & bingo, works perfectly.
So, I would go for the ON/OFF remote & steer clear of the FAN/OFF remote..........unless anyone disagrees?

There's a sequence of how to sync your remote either in the Wiki above or possibly in the manual. Failing that either Google or look back on the threads on here.

lostinspace.......it shouldn't kill the battery unless the battery is on it's last legs I believe.
The car has to have a minimum of 1/4 tank fuel & obviously a decent battery & she's good to go.
I also think the fbh only runs for a short period of time [15 mins?] just to warm the cabin up.
I've used mine several times & no noticeable drain on the battery. 2012 Orkney Grey Westminster 4.4TDV8 with Ivory interior.........nice!

Thanks Fox, have read a fair bit about the synching process. Will look around for a T91. As you say it's the receiver number that's confusing! I've seen both versions listed for sale as suitable for the car which doesn't help.

Thanks Fox889 I have a 2010 facelift will check the boot. My electric Leaf has preheating from an app, I need similar if it is possible for my RR. 2009 TDV8 3.6

Jad: I was like 'a bull in the china shop' when I looked for a FBH remote, as I said earlier, saw T91R & thought 'that's what I want'.....wrong. Now you mention it, I think I read somewhere where the FAN/OFF is for the L405 version rather than the L322, anyway, pretty sure you'll need the ON/OFF version. Good luck with the search.....may even pay to stick a 'wanted' thread on the site first? If not, bay of thieves are bound to have one [just watch who/where you're buying from]. 2012 Orkney Grey Westminster 4.4TDV8 with Ivory interior.........nice!

+1, you need the T91 Remote Fob with ON / OFF, not the T91R. I have the same on my receiver T91R and got a T91 Remote Fob off the For Sale and Wanted Forum with ON / OFF, after the T91R Fob I got off ebay with Heater / OFF wouldn't sync with the receiver. The T91 Synced first time and works a treat.

I’m happy to be corrected on this but when I was researching before I bought my fobs, I’m sure I read that it doesn’t have to be one with Land Rover on it - I believe that T91 remote for any make of car would work once programmed.
That might help with the search (if I’ve remembered correctly...). 2017 Jaguar F Pace 25t Portfolio - still part of the JLR family 😀

Anyone converted to a Wifi switch?

Will only work at home though unless you have a wifi hotspot enabled it can connect to on your phone. £10 delivered. Another £7 gets you a wifi remote. 2009 TDV8 3.6

Looked at it then went with Velleman wireless remote, got two remotes, one in the house to switch it on and one left in the car which goes in my pocket so can switch fbh on when been watching grandson football practice in the winter, range a bit limited but normally I can park near enough to be able to switch it on ten minuets before practice has finished and get into a warm car. Velleman do a kit which will pick up the screen of a mobile phone when it rings which could then be used to switch on park heating, so guessing it would go something like cheap payg phone in the boot wired with 12 volt phone charger fed from a vsr to charge phone while engine running Velleman kit set so can see phone screen, in operation you ring the mobile which the Velleman kit picks up on to then switch park heating on I believe the kit does have a timer option on it, so as long as the mobile has a signal you could be anywhere in the world for it to work, just a little something for you to think about lostinspace.
