I would be interested in seeing a similar system using the hot input of this device rigged to the car's coolant line and the cold input connected to a heatsink of some sort. Seems like a cheap way to recover some waste heat, unless I am missing something.

The car's coolant line won't be hot enough to generate much electricity, especially because thermoelectric generators have horrible efficiency. Where they should go is the exhaust, but generators that can handle exhaust temperatures aren't commercially available to the best of my knowledge.
