I have just bought a Seat Mii electric (ex-demonstrator) and I'm loving it. There isn't a forum for the Mii, so I'm afraid I have to use the VW e-up forum (as it is basically the same car). Sorry :-(
Now the cold weather has started (I live in Northumberland), having the car automatically warm up before leaving is really useful. I have Seat Connect working, so can do this remotely which is handy - I also have a PodPoint charging point, so I can get a decent amount of power to the car.
I understand that the Seat Connect thing is a short 'trial' (possibly a year, so I only have 3 months left) and after that I would have to pay an annual charge. It is a useful tool, but to be honest, paying annually is just a rip off and isn't going to happen. The only thing I find really useful is being able to start pre-heating the car remotely for a short while before leaving, on cold days. However useful that is, it isn't worth an annual charge.
So my question is - can I go to the car and start the preheat thing - and then walk away, leaving the car to preheat? Preferably without leaving the car keys in the car and the car unlocked? If it can be done remotely, surely there is a way to do it non-remotely?
Many thanks for any help anyone is able to give.
