Is it regional now John ? The reason I query is that even if you haven't opted for timed \ remote the workshop manual certainly on the 2.0 shows:

Ah ...drat
Apols to jimbg for any confusion 
Still, I suppose the app jim uses is as effective ..though unless it's on private land \ car park this bit is of concern.

does the D5 havea fuel burning heater? if so is it like the D4 one and comes on as required at cold ambient startup or can it be programmed like RRV and RRS?
EDIT <incorrect> some models also have optional timed climate via the touchscreen or via the optional remote
sorry, i wasnt aware that the D4 had a remote option or it could be done via touchscreen. what MY did that come in on? -

Not sure that would hold any water ...the RTA only requires for the engine to be stopped and the park brake to be applied. No mention of locking.

Section 42 Road Traffic Act 1988 - level 3/4 fine - fixed penalty summary offence
Regulation 107 Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986
It is an offence for a person to leave or cause or permit to be left, on a road a motor vehicle which is not attended by a person licensed to drive it unless :-
the engine is stopped * and
any parking brake which is required to be fitted, is effectively set.
* Exemptions to stopping engine :-
a vehicle being used for ambulance, fire or police purposes, or
a vehicle in such a position and condition as not to be likely to endanger any person or property and engaged in an operation which requires its engine to be used to :-
drive machinery forming part of, or mounted on the vehicle and used for purposes other than driving the vehicle, or
maintain the electrical power of the batteries at a level required for driving that machinery or apparatus.
The application of whether it's legal is held in the last paragraph IMO ...is the heater classed as "machinery or apparatus" ??

Arguably its the same as a reefer unit on a freezer trailer?
we have various local by laws out here that are intended to prevent vehicle engines being idled for excessive amounts of time. Not sure its ever enforced and remote starters are relatively common. Lets face it when its -20-30C it is nice to be able o get into a relatively warm cab
