Auxiliary heater upgrade - VW T7 Multivan, T7 California
Turn your heater into a real parking heater
With our upgrade kit, you can turn the factory-fitted auxiliary heater in your VW T7 into a genuine parking heater. The standard water-based auxiliary heater only runs while you're driving, helping the engine reach operating temperature faster. With our upgrade kit, you can use the same heater while parked too – warm air and ice-free windows before you even get in.
Installation requires no changes to the vehicle's electronics and no software update.
How to check if your VW T7 is compatible
If you find a sticker with the Webasto or Eberspächer logo on the door sill or in the engine bay, your T7 already comes with a diesel-powered auxiliary heater as standard. In that case, our kit can be installed easily to turn it into a full parking heater.
Compatible with the following vehicles fitted with a diesel-powered auxiliary heater:
- VW T7 Multivan – Climatic (up to model year 2025)
- VW T7 Multivan – Climatronic (up to model year 2025)
- VW T7 California – all versions with an auxiliary heater
Key benefits
- Pre-warmed interior and pre-warmed coolant before you set off
- Ice-free windows and warm seats instead of scraping and shivering in the morning
- No more cold engine starts in winter – easier on the engine and wear parts
- No changes to the original wiring, no cables need to be cut
- No software update of the heater required
- Minimal power draw in standby, no consumption when the heater is off
- Fully reversible and removable without leaving any trace – ideal for leased vehicles
How you control the heater after the upgrade
Once installed, you can switch on the heating however you like:
- via an analogue +12V signal
- via a smartphone app (LTE, GSM, UMTS, 4G) – control by app or SMS
- via a Webasto MultiControl or Telestart T99 remote control
Good to know
- You don't need a second battery – power consumption is minimal.
- With a starter battery in good condition, one full night of heating won't drain it.
- Installation is reversible and leaves no trace on your vehicle – also a great fit for leased vehicles.
- Since the connection requires soldering, we recommend having the installation carried out by a qualified workshop.
