AFAIK, the VAG group (VW, Audi, Skoda, SEAT) Webasto units speak a different dialect of WBUS commands and so can't be used with non-VAG FBHs 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

You could make yourself a remote system utilising a 1533 timer for less than that.
I made my own using the instructions here on the forum and it's been extremely reliable.
Total cost inclu timer was about £100. There's only 3 wires to connect, pos, neg and a FBH wire.
I'll see if I can find a link to it. 
Here you go: Phone mod thread: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic16361.html
All wiring details are here: Remote mod How-To: http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/albums/use...20v1-1.pdf Mods:

I've read these, and that was my plan - I just came across this whilst surfing the bay and thought it looked neat and tidy.
I'm back on to plan A now - just researching GSM devices now. The 1533 timers are a bit hard to come by now for the look of it, but there seems to be a couple available from Germany.
