Stockdorf/Munich. – For many drivers Webasto parking heaters have long been an absolute "must" when it comes to optimum comfort and safety on the road, especially in winter. And since perfect comfort starts before one even gets in the car, Webasto offers remote controls for its feel-good products to meet every wish and requirement.

Telestart T100 HTM – Heating time management in superior design quality
HTM stands for Heating Time Management and means, in simple terms, that the new remote control device recognises for itself when the parking heater needs to be switched on.
All the car driver has to do is to enter the time at which he wishes to set off using the integrated display and program the desired comfort level – and the rest is done by the remote control and the parking heater. In combination with the sensors inside the vehicle, the heating time manager integrated in the remote control identifies the temperature inside the car and works out the optimum time to start the heater relative to the time the driver wishes to set off. The five individually adjustable comfort levels range from "Defrost windscreen" to comfortable warming of the interior. The hand-held transmitter has a range of up to 1000 meters. Both the status display (heating, auxiliary fan) and the activated automatic heating time are shown in the display with easy to understand symbols. In combination with its attractive modern design the size of a keyring pendant, the Telestart T100 HTM further enhances the Webasto parking heater in terms of comfort and convenience. And for car drivers it means that the vehicle always has exactly the desired level of comfort whenever it is time to set off. For example no more waiting times for windows covered in thick ice. So the driver sets off when he/she is ready, not when the car is ready.

Telestart T 91 – The smallest remote control in the world
The Telestart T91 is the latest design line in Webasto's range of remote controls. In addition to simple operation and reporting-back function for the radio signal, it is notable above all for its ultra-compact design – with its keyring pendant format it saves around 33% on space compared to conventional hand-held transmitters. Without any compromise on range either, which is up to a maximum of 1000 meters. In addition, the elegant looking silver and anthracite coloured Telestart T91 is a real eye catcher.
!!! New !!! From October 2007 – special edition versions of the T100 HTM and T91 in fresh colours
Webasto brings colour into your life: from October 2007 the intelligent control units T100 HTM and T91 for Webasto parking heaters will be available in special edition fresh-look colours.
For parking heater owners that want a splash of colour, the T100 HTM and T91 in the stylish Webasto CI colours are the ideal choice: Webasto red and blue. The T100 HTM and T91 will also be available in daffodil yellow – in anticipation of spring. For those who prefer a more classic design the T91 can also be had in night black. Irrespective of which colour the parking heater owner chooses, these matt-glossy hand adornments make an elegant statement on a key chain – that’s because feel-good comfort already begins with simple operation of the parking heater.

Thermo Call – Feel-good climate with just a call
The "Thermo Call" is the statement of independence when it comes to control convenience. It doesn’t matter how far the driver is away from his car – as long as there is network coverage for his mobile telephone he can switch the parking heater on and off, program the start and heating time and activate the parking ventilation function.
Three versions are available to accommodate different requirements,:
TC2 Connect – The parking heater is switched to the desired status with simple SMS commands such as "Webasto on". Password protection and free choice of network provider included.
TC2 Comfort – The classic Thermo Call. For starting and programming with voice-controlled menu options. The parking heater is ready and waiting for the driver's commands at any time. TC2 Comfort is supplied with a Vodafone SIM card in Germany. The Thermo Call TC2 Comfort is available in the following language versions: English, German, Swedish, Danish and Russian.
TC2 Locate – This has the same functions as the TC2 Comfort but also includes an additional GPS module which enables the vehicle to be traced anywhere in Europe if it is stolen. If the worst should ever happen, a free vehicle search with the help of the ADAC and Interpol is included for the first three years after purchase. The Thermo Call TC2 Locate is available in the following language versions: German, Russian and Danish.
Thermo Call can be retrofitted to any parking heater in the majority of vehicles.
