Retrofit Preheat?

[flyingjase]

I absolutely love my Full Fat Supercharged and in the 2 years I've owned it I've never once got bored or thought about changing it (well maybe for a 2010 S/C but unfortunately funds don't stretch to the £100k the RR configurator tells me I'd need to pay for the spec I want!)

However the one thing I wish it had is the preheat button on the key fob. Especially now the weather is turning, pushing a button 10 mins before I leave the house so the car was toastie warm and defrosted would be ideal.

So, does anyone know if you can retrofit the preheat to the S/C?

It's a Webasto system but the petrol version isn't great.
We fit the diesel model at my manufacturing co. But have been warned against the petrol unit. (by the maker)

Ummm interesting. Just asked the main dealer the same question and they have no idea! They're 'looking into it' an dgetting back to me.

Who do you get to fit yours? Do you know why is the petrol model advised against?

We manufacture catering mobiles, we fit them to create small hot boxes for food delivery.
So we fit them.
But not to cars.
The webasto site should give you a local fitter?

Thanks - will contact Webasto directly. LR Main Dealer say they can't retrofit it.

You'll be Looking at over 1.5k Minimum! There's a hell of a lot of bits that go into it. In fact i wouldn;t be surprised if it was more like 3k.

Edit- Maybe try JE ?

Mine has preheat that i can set using the timer on the screen. The remote costs over £350 on it;s own, so i'll just set the timer when i leave it at night thanks
