Webasto Overhead Control Panel.

So... does anyone know IF I can buy the overhead panel and make it work with a diesel heater like the Webasto Air Top 2000 or similar?
Hi...
I appreciate that this is an old "Post", but were you ever able to source this control unit and did you manage to install and manage, operate it to your satisfaction?
I own a T5 Caravelle, with the Webasto Engine Coolant Heater installed and working, but with no operator controls????
I would like to be able to operate the Webasto at my convenience, hence the question.
Thank you,
Regards.

Have a look here - either using a remote or/and an overhead control panel:

Ahhh, just realized ... on T5 the heater + its' attachments are different ones... anyways the principles above still apply - a remote and/or a control panel.

Hi...
Thank you for replying.
My T5 Caravelle has a Webasto and, it all works, which I was very pleased to discover last Winter!
Unfortunately, I have no control panel fitted, just the blank, where I assume it will fit.
Just wondered if the wiring loom for the Webasto control would be insitu behind the Blank?
Also, I understand the vehicle software will need to be adjusted, upgraded, to accept the control commands for the Webasto.
There is a company in Bournemouth who will upgrade and fit the remote system, but do I need the in car Control Panel fitted to allow the remote operation?
Looking on the VW Transporter related Forums, there seems to be a niche, waiting for someone, wrt Webasto operation upgrades and issues!
Thanks again,
Regards.

I'm pretty sure there is nothing for this. VW doesn't install anything extra :mad:

Up here the T5 always has control panel for Webasto, and as an option a remote. I don't know if there's any problem to install just a remote controller on T5 heater - for T6 it works just fine.

What's the type of the Webasto (sticker on driver door)? What model year is the van?

Hi...
My Van is a 2012 Caravelle Exec. BiTDi DSG 4Motion, the Webasto sticker on my door frame, is exactly the same as the one posted, except, mine is a 12v / 26W.
I was hoping, I could buy the parts I required and then 'Plug & Play', but I didn't take into account the software adjustment.
I may have to contact "Advanced In-Car Technologies", and ask for their advice (cost)
Thanks again for your help.
Regards.
