This universal kit is primarily intended for retrofitted heaters. The unit does not support CAN bus and is not suitable for factory-fitted heaters (the heater is controlled via the car's dashboard) but if you have an existing remote control it can still work though. It also has limited support for airheaters and usually cannot control these by itself without an existing compatible controller. Contact us if you are unsure!
