Park heating

[philip600]

Hi,

I'm still looking at Range Rovers & have a question about the park heat function. I'm looking at 2010 onwards 4.4 & as I understand it ( please correct me if I'm wrong ) they all have park heat function as standard but only some have the remote option ?
If they have it as standard but one I'm looking at doesn't have the remote option is it possible, for a reasonable cost, to modify it to provide remote control ?
I did this with my 2005 X5, which with the help of the X5 forum I fitted a remote relay that enabled me to turn the park heat function on from inside the house.
TIA
Phil

My experience is that RR’s either have the park heat feature or they don’t. Those that have it should have a remote. Park heat was an option on most of the models you are considering. It’s not an economical retrofit option.

Can't comment directly on that model, but on Discovery's. there are kits available to make the Park Heat (or FBH Fuel Burning Heater) remote controlled. I imagine the Park Heat is the same kit in the RR as the Disco.

To retro fit this to my RRS 3.0 TDV6 2010 I paid approx £350 to a guy off the RRS forum to do the software update, fit the gizmo/antenna in the boot and provide the remote control.

On Range rovers if you want to run the cabin pre heating you press the button on the app on your phone !

AFAIK The park heater was standard fit to all diesels from the 2010 MY on as it formed part of the Euro 4 package update as the aux heater is used on cold starts to warm the engine up quicker to improve emissions.

Based on what I've read they are all fitted with the remote receiver as standard, you just need to buy the remote control from parts or ebay then follow the procedure in the handbook to pair it to the unit.

Can you email me his number and/or email address?
