Only drawback is it only runs 10 minutes, and I can only restart it once after that for another 10 minute run. If that could be changed it would be perfect! Since I work at night, it's awesome to go out to a truck that's warmed up with the ice melted off the windshield.

No experience with any aftermarket stuff though.
I'll have to check my owners manual. Have the same vehicle but just kicks on the heat (never used it when AC was needed). Must be configurable.
