Hi All
D4 2010, activated timed climate control with gapIID, on screen, in vehicle settings, next to valet shows the timer settings, small problem (I Hope), the manual on/off is greyed out and can not be activated, outside temp is 6C, I was under the impression that as long as the temp was no higher than 10C you could use the manual option ?
Anyone ? Discovery 3 SE gone but not forgotten.

On ours to get the manual option to work, engine and ignition off. Switch on the radio. Go to the climate screen and then the manual heat option is available. Give it a press, then the FBH starts. D4 HSE Lux. my 2015 . Mariana Black

What happens when the engine is started?- does it go off and then controlled by the engine?
p.s. I got no heating at the moment and don’t I miss it  It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Perhaps I missed something, but how can you set the radio ON with ignition OFF ?

I guess it’s the button in the middle of the volume knob.
I don’t have a D4

That's crazy ! It's now 8 months I've bought my D4 and I discover each day new things on it !

I come back on this thread because something's not working as expected...
My FBH works perfectly for 30 mn when using the timed climate, but when I use the "manual heating" button, it starts and stop quite immediately. Any idea ?
Edit : I can succesfuly use the Thermo Test software to run the FBH. But... after the test, I have to reset the FBH (by removing supply plug for a minute) to be able to restart another test, otherwise the communication with W-bus doesn't start !
Also, I need to proceed this reset before to start the FBH with a remote and converter, and then it works only for a short time like with the "manual heating" button.
I'm suspecting a misunderstanding in the settings "auxiliary heater" and "parking heater" in the CCF file... To be continued.

Hi Shamrock
Did you get an answer to the problem, one of my friends has the same problem ? When using manual runs for a few min then stops, thanks. Discovery 3 SE gone but not forgotten.

Hi davecars !
Unfortunately, I still have no explication for this fail.
I don't incriminate the converter because I have the same problem with the touch screen button as with the (remote controlled) converter. The heater starts venting, "auto" light in the car starts flashing, but after a while (around 1 min), the heater shuts down.
I can't incriminate the W-bus, as it works perfectly with the Thermo Test software (v2.14) threw the diagnostic cable.
Is it working on YOUR car ? If yes, what could be the difference ? What are your settings in CCF ?
Keep in touch, I keep on searching...
The converter is : https://www.ebay.ie/itm/334055699526
With remote : https://www.ebay.ie/itm/334172103471
The diagnostic cable is : https://www.ebay.ie/itm/334172075453
