L405 - and Altox FBH Control

So what's the story with remote FBH control with an Altox unit in the L405?

I've done a search on here and the only results that come up are for the L322.

My D4 has timed FBH control as standard which I don't use, but I have an Altox unit plugged in which allows me full remote control via the App on my phone with the added bonus of it also acting as a tracker.
That's without starting the engine, using the FBH pump to circulate the coolant to preheat the engine without running the engine itself.
It's obviously really good for the engine not to start it from really cold in the morning, and it obviously means there is warm air from the vents immediately I get in it. It also defrosts the screen whilst it warms up.
I suppose I'd assumed I could swap the Altox to an L405, but perhaps not.

Sending the car a text to warm up on a cold morning whilst I eat my breakfast before going to work, or getting off a plane and sending it a text late at night so it's nicely warmed up by the time I get to the Pink Elephant, is a luxury I think I've got to used to now and would miss.

Thanks Stan, but I don't understand how a workshop manual would help.

Does anyone on here have a remote for their FBH that isn't the LR keyfob that needs to be in range of the car?

I've tried contacting Altox, but like most companies these days they can't be bothered to answer emails.
