So i have the cabin heater hooked up on a circulating water loop taking in the cabin matrix, a pump, the heater and a small expansion bottle Teed in.

It works ok but i wanted to check against other peoples experiences with it as it. It gets mid-warm after 5 or so minutes, enough to take the chill off the car and demist, but not toasty. In the outlander was this the only form of cabin heating or did the engine provide some too ?

I think you use 0x285 msg too sparsly It needs to go out at 30ms or faster.
Your heater witll turn on when it got the msg but if the msg is not updated fast enough it will shutoff and again ....

I have my temp set to 50deg and my VCU reads heater report in order to close the control loop.
