Description
The Autoplugin Key-V2 is an electronic module designed to add a remote control
ability to the fuel-fired heater (parking heater, fuel operated heater, pre-heater),
factory installed in Volvo S60 (2010-2018), V60 (2010-2018), V70 (2007-2016),
XC70 (2007-2016), S80 (2007-2016) or XC60 (2008-2016). The device is plugged
into the diagnostic socket, placed on the dashboard, and controls the heater via
CAN-bus.
Module Possibilities
·Immediate start of the heater with Volvo car’s key. The remote control
key with 5 buttons or the PCC with 6 buttons can be used for heater
control
·Immediate stop of the heater with Volvo car’s key
·Indication of the heater autonomous operation with direction indicators
flashing in rearview mirrors.
·Additional main battery protection from discharging by inspecting of
voltage level and time of the heater autonomous operation

Connection
The module needs that 2 timers and direct start / stop function for the heater
control are present in the CIP. Therefore it may be necessary to load special
software to the CIP at first by the means of Volvo dealer’s equipment.
Check the “Lamp” button of the remote control key switches on the “Approach
lighting”. Activate the “Approach lighting” in the MY CAR menu if necessary.
Autoplugin Key does not need professional installation. Find the diagnostic socket
at the left lower point of the dashboard. The socket is placed closer to the bonnet
opening handle. Take the module to your hand in such manner, that the LED is
placed closer to the driver’s door side, and then gently push the module to the
socket. LED starts flashing for approximately 10 seconds, waiting for information
from CAN-bus. Wait until the LED stops flashing before the operation. Turn the
ignition on if the LED continues flashing after 10 seconds period expired.

Basic Functions
1. A special combination of buttons presses is used to start the heater with a
remote control key. Firstly press “Lamp” button on the key to switch on the
car’s lighting. Then press “Lock” button two times within 30 seconds, while
lighting is on. Every “Lock” button’s pressing should be confirmed with
direction indicators flashing.
2. To stop the heater by using a remote control key, twice switch on and then
switch off car’s lighting from the key. Intervals between “Lamp” button
presses should not exceed 20 seconds.
3. It is possible to disable remotely startups of the heater, programmed in the
CIP. Use a remote control key to send stop command when the heater is idle.
Starting the heater any way or turning the ignition to “on” position enables
CIP timers again.
Additional Functions
By default the module is adjusted to perform only basic functions, such as
start and stop of the heater by using a remote control key. To turn on additional
functions such as flashing with direction indicators in rearview mirrors, etc. enter
the module into Setup mode and activate corresponding setup item (see settings
table 3).
The buttons of the left-hand stalk switch and the brakes pedal are used to
enter Setup mode and to change the settings. It is necessary to stop the engine and
the heater before. Turn the ignition on by holding the engine start button for at
least 2 seconds, then press and hold the brakes pedal. Next press and hold for at
least 5 seconds “Read” button (also can be marked as “OK” button in some cars),
while module’s LED flashes once a second. Both direction indicators in the CIP
confirm entering to the setup mode with 2 flashes*. Release the brakes pedal and
“Read/OK” button finally.
Each setup item in the settings table is a 3-digit code. To enter a digit of a
code, shortly press “RESET” button so much times, as corresponds to a digit. The
LED and the direction indicators symbols in the CIP confirm each button press: the
LED briefly goes off, the left direction indicator flashes one time when the first or
the third digit of code is entered, the right direction indicator - when the second
digit of code is entered. To complete a digit entering, press and release “Read/OK”
button. The CIP confirms it with one flash of both direction indicators
simultaneously. When all three digits entered, the module checks the code for
validity and confirms it with the direction indicators flashing. The both direction
indicators flash twice simultaneously in case of valid code and flash twice
alternately in case of invalid code.

5
If the entered digit is not correct, press and release “Read/OK” button until the
module indicates an error. Enter the code once more in that case. Several codes can
be entered without exit of setup mode.
Turn the ignition off to exit from the Setup mode. New settings are saved in the
non-volatile memory of the module and stored there regardless of whether the
module is connected or not. Note: start the engine inside the Setup mode if you
want to exit without saving of new settings.
To reset the module to the factory settings, enter the code 8.1.1. Both direction
indicators in the CIP should flash three times, confirming command execution.
Then the module exits Setup mode and restarts.
* Direction indicators flash in Setup mode only in cars with analogue instrument
panel. For cars with digital instrument panel use LED’s indication of the module
for settings change.

Troubleshooting
If a run-time error occurs during the heater operation, Autoplugin Key informs
about error code with LED flashing. The number of flashes in series corresponds to
the error code. See table 2 for errors description and possible solutions.
