I have been thinking of adding remote park heat to my order HSE Dynamic, the price with a few choice options is already scaring me. I am always out early on frosty cold mornings, and the thought of clearing the garage out to keep the car in is worse. would I be content with the heated seats and heated front windscreen ? or is it worth the £1000 to have the car pre-heated. any thoughts ??

get a BAS system remote heater controller, you get it with a remote control and also a GSM so with a message from anywhere in the world you can switch the FBH on to get the car warmed up

i managed well enough on MY10 with heated seats and windscreen before I built my garage

MY13 I have now came with timed climate as standard but having a garage found it a waste of time so decided to upgrade to remote as this will be more useful when not at home but been told £500+ now so not bothering

GSM sounds even better but would depend on cost vs benefit for me - £1000 would be a deal breaker  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

If you can afford it, go for it. Being able to tell your car to warm itself while you have breakfast sounds like a jolly nice thing to have.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Thanks to all.....I think I will add it. blow the budget we are not on this planet for long, might as well be warm while we are.
At this rate I might have to sell the wife, kids, and dog before I sign the cheque........ well maybe not the dog

I have a Black Edition with timed climate - was advised it needed a remote and activation (£150) but now been told it also needs antenna and receiver (£500+) so day wasted and 100 mile trip

I am told the price quoted was for an AutoBio (antenna/receiver already fitted?) so you may be lucky

Then again unless a member on here confirms any of this I remain sceptical on anything said by LR or its representatives

Aux heater is O/S behind headlamp and has a small exhaust down behind bumper I believe  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

A luxury but well worth it if you start out early...we use it a lot.

Loving mine on the cold mornings. MY13.5 Autobiography, Santorini Black, Privacy Glass. Gone
Driving a milk float for now.

It's amazing, the best option i specked to be honest, use it every time i drive this time of year.

I don't think i could have a car without it now.. well worth the £1000 in my opinion.

Hi
Just bought a 12 plate HSE lux
No sign of a timed heating system on the dash or a key fob type switch
But previous owners paper work states it was in the dealers for excessive smoke from fuel burning heater

Do you think I'm just missing the fob ?

I have Park heat on my MY14 and also had it on my previous MY10.

It's the second best extra on the car, the first being the Adaptive Cruise Control MY2010 TDV8 purchased Jan 2017
MY14 HSE Dynamic 3.0 SDV6 sold Sept 2015
MY 2010 TDV8 sold April 2014
MY 2007 V6 HSE sold July 2013

Hi Spark and welcome.

If yours is a Deisel then you will have a FBH fitted. To get remote operation you will need an aerial, a receiver and a remote fob. Fob is £25 eBay, other bits are available from Yeovil Landrover for about £180 ish and activation of the software will be about £50. Then you will be up and running 😃 MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

2012 3.0 SDV6 Luxury gone, but a great motor
