Thank you, Woodie. Honestly, yes, it began feeling like I had to defend myself to why I chose this system. I was just trying to share some info about what options are out there. Yes... The price was a bit hefty, but I was prepared for it. The system without the "Link" would have been cheap...

I don't mind spending some extra on it. I plan to keep the car for some time.

2017-05-13-01-43-19.jpg Update on this. I don't know where I got "auto" from. The arm clearly reads off. Bad lighting to take light pictures. Took with the switch off, low beam is on. Park and park/fog. On setting gives the same as off. You are correct, KuroNekko, switching ON, turns the ...

KuroNekko, yeah, it can be like a sauna when you sit into a cooked car.
We don't get SoCal heat here. I guess Australia is kinda warm too
Next time I replace the windshield, I'll put some tint on that as well. Not the whole screen though.
Rear windows are tinted already.

That's what I'm thinking of doing too, next winter. Get something rear wheel drive, that I don't have to care much about. Then scrap it for spring. And repeat.

Woodie, as I already said, I'm a trucker by profession. I get to work, I plug in the car, I work. When I'm on my way home, 200 miles or something, away from the car. I turn the heater(s) on. Then it's warm when I get there to go home. My irregular hours doesen't help with a "normal" socket...

Not really, Woodie. I can't flip the switch when I'm at work, 200 miles away from the car. And it wouldn't help the engine anyway, if I didn't have the heater put into it.

Here are some pictures. I couldn't access anything under the hood. Added the outside plug, with and without the cable connected. The interior fan. I taped a weight on the foot, so it wouldn't tip over when driving. And, the socket for the fan. It's hidden under the glove box. There was a choice to h...

Also, there are built-in systems, which don't need a cable. I'm not sure what they're called there. One name is Webasto. They are used in our trucks as well. I'm a trucker by profession. Spoken to some US truckers and was like "Wtf?" when they told me they have to idle their rigs to get he...

Basically, a heating element and other required components are plugged into the coolant system. Getting the engine warm for start. Releasing less toxic fumes than a completely cold engine. On the picture, when I plug the cable into the car, (I can take a picture when I get back), the app (and car) &...
