Description

You can convert the auxiliary heater of your car to a full functional parking heater using our upgrade-kit.
We are using our "CAN-Gateway" which is connected plug&play the the vehicles original can-gateway via a y-cable.
You don't have to cut any wires or do some software updates.

My car already has an air heater 

It can still be useful to upgrade the auxiliary heater:

The Airheater mainly heats the interior space of the vehicle but not the coolant or engine.
The outlets for the warm air re located at the rear part of the vehicle so it takes some time to defrost the windscreen. 

Heater blower control

To switch on the heater blower during parking heater we just use our "smart-switch". This module is connected to the original climate control. 

Operating device

After upgrading the auxiliaey heater, you can switch on / off the heater with an analog +12v signal.
So basically you can just use a simple switch. If you choose an other operating device during your order, the respective connection cord will be included into delivers.

please note

using the upgraded auxiliary heater as  parking heating can cause some error entries at the control units. 
These are mainly caused as the car officially doesn't have a water heater installed but the coolant temperatur rises during parking heating.
Further more, the auxiliary heater consumes some energy from the battery which can be interpreted as leakege current.

 Zitat aus der Webasto Aufrüstdokumentation für Wasserheizgerät Thermo Top Evo (OE) VW T6.1
"Während des Standheizbetriebs werden Bauteile der fzg.eigenen Klimatisierung aktiviert. Andere Fahrzeugkomponenten bleiben inaktiv, was unter Umständen als Fehler interpretiert und als dementsprechender Hinweis im Ereignisspeicher abgelegt werden kann. Auch ein erhöhter Stromverbrauch (Ruhestrom) kann bei einigen Fahrzeugen angezeigt werden. Wenn ein fehlerhafter Einbau ausgeschlossen werden kann, beziehen sich diese Einträge ausschließlich auf die Situation im Standheizbetrieb und haben keine Auswirkung auf die Funktionen des Fahrzeugs im Fahrbetrieb."
