Bit off-topic, but...

....is it possible to retrofit a heated screen? I will replace my windscreen for the second time in 1 year of car ownership (it cracked again - the joys of gravel and studded tires) and I was wondering how complicated it would be to get an heated version and what would be needed to make it work.

Probably a lot of heartache if you go down that route. Also, would your insurance cough up if you cracked a heated windscreen which isn't factory fit? See this post:

That kinda settles it then

Did anybody installed a diesel heater next to the car engine and link the big pipe with heated air to the car heating system to send the heat into the cabin? This is what I want to do, but I am not sure is is enough space to fit a diesel heater near the engine and I am not sure if I am allowed.

Does anyone knows what these options do? I have Diesel webasto mounted on my car and can start it by pressing the dash button, program it to start at a chosen time, or start it using the remote control. All good until now. But when entering the air condition settings, I saw these options that made me wonder regarding the "automatic" settings. Air care, I guess it should detect the air quality and start by itself when there's a need. But what does the automatic auxiliary heater or the windshield? Does it starts also automatically if the temperature goes below a certain point? Or it is not referring to the diesel heater and it's pointing to something else, like the electric heater that kicks in below 7 degree Celsius ?
