Remote controlled parking heater
There are two ways to remote control the parking heater. Via the mini-call system and via remote control. There are also two types of parking heater, an electrical parking heater and a gasoline or diesel parking heater. The type of heater to be activated via remote start must be preset in the car's driver information module (DIM).
Remote start using the remote control cannot be combined with remote start via the mini call system.
To use the remote start function for the electrical parking heater, the "Timer start of the electric parking heater" function must be installed.
Remote starting via the mini call system (certain markets only)
The remote start system for the parking heater consists of a mini-call unit positioned under the parcel shelf (applies to the S60, S80) or behind the right-hand side panel (applies to the V70/V70XC) in the cargo compartment of the car.
The mini-call unit is directly connected with voltage supply, ground connection as well as start/stop signal to the accessory electronic module (AEM).
The mini-call unit is continuously supplied with voltage via the accessory electronic module (AEM) since it must be active all the time to be able to receive start and stop signals.
The remote start system for the parking heater is remote controlled using a normal telephone via the existing mini call network which is available in certain markets.
When installing the remote start warning system the car must be configured using new software. Configuration is carried out via VIDA.
There are diagnostics for the remote start system.
Remote start via the remote control
The remote start system starts and stops the parking heater via a remote control instead of via mini call.
The remote start system consists of a remote control and a receiver for the remote control as well as a contact relay mounted at the accessory electronic module (AEM). The receiver is supplied with voltage and connected to ground via a branching connection at the accessory electronic module (AEM).
Communication between receiver and the accessory electronic module (AEM) consists of a start or stop signal.
The remote start system with remote control is available as accessory for the accessory electronic module (AEM) for cars of later versions.
The difference in chassis numbers between the two versions is shown in the chart.
| Model | Chassis number | |
|---|---|---|
| Early version | Later version | |
| S60 | -092351 | 092352- |
| S80 | -239999 | 240000- |
| V70 | -170999 | 171000- |
| V70XC | -047999 | 048000- |
There are three LR03 (AAA) batteries in the remote control.
The remote control must be synchronized with the receiver.
When installing the remote start warning system the car must be configured using new software. Configuration is carried out via VIDA.
