Re: Parking climate

Interesting pjm, my test was to feel the metal surrounds of the air vents, and they were deffinatly cool to the touch, and the car felt quite a comfortable temp. Whatever it's doing its a vast improvement to a hot car! Will give it a longer test shortly.

Left it running for about 5 minutes and sure enough the car had cooled down inside, without the engine running, Would apear parking climate will work to cool the car but not to...

Re: On Call App

Can also confirm preheating does NOT work for UK spec vehicles, no fuel driven heater is installed. You can however preheat the vehicle by remotely starting the car and if temperature conditions are met the car can either heat or cool the cabin.

Re: Mud Flaps
