The first is your Land Rover original blip using its 3rd button when its set to control the follow me home headlights function as seen in your hand book pages 35 & 36, secondly by sending an SMS. (SIM card must be installed). Start and or stop the heater by pressing the blip to flash activate the head lights ON for 5 seconds and OFF before 10 seconds or by one of the many options added for control including pre set timed starts and tracking via SMS.
