I don't yet have my car so I can't go and test it for you.
All I can say is from the video it shows you can't lock the car from the outside with the engine running, but as you say it doesn't show opening and closing the door as you exit then try locking it? However I'm sure in a worst case scenario you could always lock it the old fashioned way with the key .
In my Impreza days people used to use Turbo Timers to pre heat and cool down their cars. However I didn't get one fitted as insurance company's normally won't cover you if the engine was left running when it was stolen, also as I don't have a driveway I'm sure there is a law against leaving a car running unattended? Perhaps the rules are different in Germany so that's why they offer it as an option?
I am prepared to be proven wrong though as I'm no expert
The VW California uses a remote controlled diesel heater (with timer) as a night heater, but it also uses this to preheat the engine coolant, is it a similar system or does it use an electrical heating element? Only curious as I don't think it really get cold enough in the UK to warrant a pre heater. Also this system would obviously only work on diesel cars.
