Yeah.... Those look much less invasive and easy to install (NOT!)
BTW it also looks like they are burning fuel to create the heat.
So explain how they are more environmentally friendly?
Why not a block heater, oh wait, if I'm away from an electrical supply I can't use it.

Thanks, but I'll keep my simple install and let 5 minutes at idle do the warm up/cool down of my car, the way it was designed to be operated.

Thanks though,
John

Yeah I don't understand how a whole industry gets created to reduce environment impact, when these companies have their own employees commuting to work, a factory to produce all this equipment, and shipping it to customers.... all having an environmental impact. The vehicle is already capable of this.

These other "solutions" don't appear to offer cooling either. Maybe you don't need that in Canada, but in 100F weather, the interior of the car can reach 172F.

Well, with outside temp 100F, interior temp 150F+ and the engine running on IDLE and the car stationary it will take hours to cool the cabin to a comfortable level. Nothing will bring a faster cool down as windows down, engine at 1500+ RPM and the car moving.
