Its a double edges sword with the Nox Box

1. It takes a billion years to warm up

2. Its extra bad to run.

Boo.

It’s a crying shame I can’t set the throttle up on my Rover so that it warms more quickly and doesn’t just sit there at idle. Nor control the choke down to the finest touch. Oh wait I can. Well, maybe I shouldn’t start my Benz up except oh wait it’s a diesel and has a block heater. Hmm, well, how about the Ranchero. There’s no way I can set a program in a Pi controlling a fuel injection computer to execute a planned warmup when its balls cold out oh wait again. Well, that leaves the Lincoln. No way I can just install an inlet heater and garage it. Hmm. Looks like I’m batting 0/4 on the give-a-fuck-ometer for cold starts.

If I’m not mistaken VW/Audi has little heaters in the vents that turn on until the engine warms up so you don't get cold air blowing on you. I think that's what he's talking about. Other manufacturers may do this.

Must not be working/present because its always cold until the engine warms up.

Well, it's electrical, and if it's in a VW/Audi, I think standard operating procedure is to die as soon as the warranty is up.

Im not surprised it doesn’t work...I guess good job VW for breaking before I even knew I had it to avoid the letdown.

My 3 will not heat up under any circumstances until I actually drive it around. I could leave it for 15 minutes in the driveway and it’ll still blow cold air until I drive it 3-4 km

Best modification we’ve ever done. Heat it up in the winter, cool it down in the summer. It’s really for the kid. then it’s not 100 when he gets in it in the summer and it’s not -10 in the winter

People are all worked up about the engines right now but seriously you aren’t even supposed to put a kid in a car seat with a coat on anymore, I’m going to warm up the damn car.

That was fantastic.

Long live the Raspberry Pi. I have 2 of them running as micro home theater PC’s running Kodi 1 is about to get replaced by an Amazon Fire TV though, those suckers have so much hardware.

Just need to find a way to heat the car without heating the engine for those few occasions a couple of months a year.

Maybe:

I think that they got rid of those in the mass-decontenting spree that was the Mk6 Jetta and Golf :(. Given how ridiculously long the 2.5 takes to warm up, it’s sorely missed.

It’s when you order someone to go out to your car and start the car for you

My 3 year old is getting the hang of it

Oh, or it’s this button you push that turns on your car, it only costs about 150 bucks installed
