Since these appeared in commercials in the 1990s here in the US, I'd always wondered what kind of value proposition could have been presented by the owner(s) of this device to the various auto manufacturers ( maybe a licensing deal with each competitor? ) , to list a similar function as a purchase option installed alongside the automobile's climate controls where it could source air from the existing fresh air ductwork.
Solar cells of that size and output were cheap as were the motors.
Vehicles would've been kept secure as well instead of what I recollect coming up in conversation / news outlets as the weak point of entry for a vehicle theft or the contents therein.
Given the expense and relatively low number of remote car start systems installed especially for the time, the profit margin of a solar powered ventilation feature w/ a serviceable motor and solar cell seems like low-hanging fruit at first blush.
or…. u could just roll down the window
Tinted windows will make it so the solar cell isn't getting enough light to work. IF your windows are tinted, you need one where the solar cell is outside the window.
It didn't work on my car.
yes it does works, but only if you put four of the same devices. And it also will work if you let it for long time and when temperature increase
better hold your breath for a few seconds, enter your car, turn down the windows
Another shit from China..
I just open my windows using my remote as I walk to the car.
I've got 4 of those and I'm enjoying every moment – This fan is incredible 🙂
Super recommended, Here is where I've got mine – http://www.ebay.com/itm/162514463849
Useless. Won't even blow cigarette smoke away when you hold the smoke close to the "exhaust".
i could work with bigger solar panel placed directly on top of the roof
I bought these also and they don't work! made absolutely no difference, I understand the concept but the fans just are not strong enough. end of story!
well the rain guard thing might block the air flow
Thanks for your time testing the product… 🙂
Better try the 12V motor based cooling fan, works the best in hot summer time to quickly cool down your car.

OMG WHAT A TOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!
you should crack open the other side of the window so that the fresh air will replace the air inside. it will not work if all windows are shut.
What is the name of the red thermometer (with the fan on the top) he used to measure the car temperature? Thanks in advance!
i'd like 2 cases delivered personally by john please.
I bought 2 for $10. it simply doesn't work. to whoever made this or associate themselves wih this product. may you and your family suffer a terrible death
