Hiya, I've just tried to activate the FBH via text message, sending RT.
The heater fires up and runs for about 20 minutes as it should but the blower isn't kicking in at all which it should after the heater has been running for 5 minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Cheers, Dave |

hi there
before you turn your car off have you left the heater on it should be so that when you take your key out it turns off then it must be left in this state so as you say after 5 mins it turns it self on when you send text if you already do this and it dont work then it not right hope this helps am sure the main people who do this will explain more regards paul |

I thought activating the cabin fan, is this is what is meant by blower requires additional wiring.
Activating the FBH does just that, activates the FBH which only heats the engine coolant.....so I understand macafee2 |

The guy I bought the car off said it works like the instructions say it should work. I bought it in April so today was the first time I've tried it and as I have said in reply to Paul, it makes sense that the heater controls are left in the on position when the ignition is turned off. We'll see tomorrow, thanks for your input.

The GSM units have 2 relays, when you send a text relay 1 switches on the FBH. If it is programmed correctly relay 2 will come on after 5 minutes and switch on the ATC in the car but yes the ATC has to be left on when you switch the ignition off on the previous occasion the car was used
Additional wiring back to the ATC is needed and there is a how to on this forum which gives the detail. One word of warning is that some of the early GSM units sold by the seller who supplied quite a few to members on here were faulty and relay 2 did not work so that is always a possibility to consider, which can be overcome by using a timer relay.
