FBHIC3 is activated by using the standard Land Rover blip using its 3rd button. It can also be controlled by SMS from your phone as well as with some smart phone SMS apps.
Ideal for warming your engine on cold winter mornings while sat in the comfort of your house, no need to go outside and start your engine to defrost the car. This is especially handy if you have a Discovery 3 with faulty or failed heater plugs that refuses to start in cold temperatures.
The heater is triggered using one of two main options. The first is your Land Rover original blip using its 3rd button when its set to control the follow me home headlights function as seen in your hand book pages 35 & 36, secondly by sending an SMS. (SIM card must be installed). Start and or stop the heater by pressing the blip to flash activate the head lights ON for 5 seconds and OFF before 10 seconds or by one of the many options added for control including pre set timed starts and tracking via SMS.
