I also found out the heater will carry on heating even if i turn the engine off so i would still be able to EOC while its warming the engine, or even let it warm the engine before i set off

If it has electric coolant pump (probably has) and you can start it without starting engine, you have successfully converted supplemental heater to parking heater (ofter only difference is in software and dealers take money to convert it to parking heater)! Very good. You should start it 5-10 minutes before you start car engine - no more cold starts.
