Webasto Heater
Only had my D4 HSE (Oct 09) a week now so just getting my head round all the bits and pieces.
Under the bonnet is a Webasto heater, I read the manual to see if this was the park heating but it does not come up on the touch screen to set the timer so i assume this option was not ticked.
My question is how does this heater work now? I assume its for the engine if the conditions are below -20?
I read on here that you can retro fit the park heating? is it worth it.
Many Thanks all

You can retrofit the factory-type park heater functionality which is available on the D4 (all D3 solutions are aftermarket).06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Thanks all! Would really like to put on a remote for the heater before the winter and as theres only about 130 days till the start of December its worth planning in now
But on a serious note, if the car does not have the park heating does it just warms the car up quicker once your moving? is this correct?

Yes, it's to improve coolant warm-up to decrease engine wear and speed up cabin heating.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

I would go for the remote option as when winter returns (next week ) there is nothing better than blipping your remote on a frosty morning and then 30 minutes later going out to a warm defrosted car and if you had a heated steering wheel, well that would just be the icing on the cake Cheers Ian
