hello to all the forum from a newbie member..wondering if anyone knows if I buy the iid tool I would be able to switch on park heating on my 2008 sport hst 3.6 v8.?..cant work out from research if it is hidden in the ecu or landrover never put it there in the first place..it has the webasto thermo top v fitted under the lid..many thanks and sorry if this subject has been talked about in previous threads but I had a quick look and didn't spot it.

It should come on when the temp drops below 5-6 degrees or if you read the manuel on the IID tool website it tells you how to test fire it

I think u need to buy a £250 part to be able to turn it on from your remote key

Have a look here

hi thanks for the info/suggestions..the altox thread is for a disco.?.does this apply to me.?...although the iid tool would be useful for so many more things I need to know if a range rover sport 2008 has the option for timed park heating.(therefore able to blow warm air into the cabin) hidden in the ecu files and able to be enabled)..as buying the diagnostic tool would be an expensive experiment if its an impossibility..thanks.

They are very similar cars and you would need a kit to turn on the fbh as that software was removed on earlier cars including yours i would suspect with a software update from land rover why do you ask if you can turn it on and by the way having access to IID tool or similar is almost a must with these cars or knowing a friendly indi who can help

You don't need to enable anything on your year car, you just need to fit the Altox kit that I sell (just taken another delivery in prep for winter!)
