The factory fit remote timed climate is a worthwhile improvement over the self-fit option. The island valve is very effective and is in the 'worth it' category for me.
I really don't understand what they have done with latest cameras in the MY15 but they are shockingly bad. I would not spend money on them.

If you fit your own receiver and remote the FBH heats the entire coolant system, wasting heat. The factory fit has an island/diverted valve so that the heat from the FBH only goes to the interior. If the interior gets to the required temp then, and only, then does it pump heat around the engine.
It works very well.

I'm pretty sure the valve is there if you have programmable timed Rob ...my cabin heats and cools regardless of remote activation 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Correct Adrian ..HSE comes with timed as per my last ....then adding the remote module, aerial and fobs and a bit of Geoffs magic meant that it does the funky thing. Warm cabin often this winter ..

Thanks for the feedback.... I'll take another look though they didn't seem too bad to me but then I've never had them before ...I have until the 17th to change my mind on spec apparently 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

If the wheels in the picture are 20s then I parked next to a D4 with them last Saturday.
Very nice design of wheel.
As for the rest. Rather jealous of it, decent spec.
Is it a HSE or HSE luxury?In loving memory of FA54WSK.
Rest well old friend, your work is done.
