Just had a look at the website and it sounds great, but it does say it is only available in the US, and you have to ring them if you want to use it in another country?

Hope it does work in the UK as it would be a pretty cool thing to have in the winter so I can defrost the windows before I head out to work.

Yeah, from the looks of the website it clearly states that this will only work in the US for the time being :(

Looks very cool though :cool:

Isn't it illegal to leave an un-attended car running though?  :undecided:
