This has me debating a couple options for my 2006 Corolla... I HATE freezing my ass off in my car in the morning, but fortunately an out of control internal thermostat makes it better for me than some others. The cold stick and steering wheel are the worst things to my mind...
I'm thinking a 12v Deep Cycle battery set up like the sound kiddies do so they don't drain their starter batts while pumping the beats, so it also gets recharged during normal running, which could power a 12v inline coolant heater/pump. Wire it up with a remote control with feedback and a couple hundred feet of operation, and I'm ace, yes?
Then the question is, how long would this thing need to run to warm the ICE to a decent starting temp, like, say, minimum of 75 degrees, and will something like a Yellow Top work for this? Should I just build/buy a prebuilt batt pack for the job, and if so, what type?
Thoughts anyone?
