What is needed to operate my FBH on my 10MY RRS 3.0 Deisel,By remote control. And where can i get the parts itisme

Hi Harry, if you already have it on your screen then you need the remote fob (ebay £20) an aerial and a receiver, both available via Nick in the parts dept at Yeovil Land Rover on 01935 476660. Mention the forum and get 20% off.

You may also need to activate the remote option on the screen if its not already done

Winter is well and truly here so I want to learn about this.. Is it an optional extra?

I had never heard of it before.

Decided to have a go myself as it looks an easy diy job once the software is done. It will be interesting to see how much you are quoted MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

You might need me to answer that one...

The remote heat/vent will not show by default, that isn't a fault - they only show when the engine is off and/or the car isn't moving. Try that.

As for the remote - it will need to be tuned to the car, no one would guarantee it in case it was broken, but if it works and they are half competent it will.

Low battery warning is something you will need to look into, could be the use prior to the car resting or it could be the sign of something more of an issue. It will not start unless certain conditions are met and will shut down after a period

£417 is funny and excessive...

This tends to be why you need to see someone that knows what they are doing Mike

Hi Mike, First off i have now found that what you suggested, is correct about the heat and vent operation. I found that before i read your suggestion The quote was £411 not £417 but non the less it was still Funny and Excessive( But that is Landrover for you.I have every confidence in the Lad that performed my Activation of FBH.While i waited for it to be done, i saw all the certificates for various training courses he had been on for Landrovers Thanks for your other info.

Hi Rigsby, Had my on screen FBH activated yesterday £50 ( Indy). They got a quote for Remote kit from Landrovers, who said they would only supply in a Kit form £411. My Indy said they could get the bits as single bits from another supplier. for a couple of pounds dearer than your man in Somerset. But they said it could not garrantee the Ebay Pliper (£20) would be compatable with the Landrover Bits( Reciever and Antena). Does yours work?As for the timer, mine did not work this morning as it came up low battery please start car. Also The Manual Heat and Manual Vent operation on touch screen can be seen in back ground but do not do anything. Suppose i willl have to go back to have it fixed.
Harry

Hi,

First thanks to all the guys that have posted how to do this, parts fit etc. I did this a couple of weeks ago on a MY11 and very happy

I thought I'd share as I reckon the low battery warning is a software bug (I work in IT, so a bit geeky, but don't hide in a dark room

First - using the remote no problem at all.

Second - setting a single event from screen by turning on car (not starting engine) and setting the event. On a couple of occasions this either did not start the FBH or started the FBH, but then showed the low battery error!!

Third - setting a single event with the engine running, ie getting back at night and before switching engine off, and then setting the single event. No problem following morning and no errors.

So, with a software head on it's possible that there is a small bug in second option that causes the low battery error.

Hope that puts a bit more info on the table.

Steve
