    My last car had a parking heater fitted, complete with remote control.

    Look out of the window in the morning and see a frost, press the 'on' button on the remote and 10 minutes later the car was nice and warm as well as frost free

    I had a similar set up in the Middle East, but I switched on the a/c as opposed to the heater...

    You need to run the a/c periodically even in Winter as the gas seals the pipes and prevents leaking....

    It will use slightly more fuel but much cheaper than new pipes....

    I am fibbing, i use aircon regular, it's great for clearing the windows quite quick plus it keeps you nice and cool in this stressful state of driving too.
