I don't thnk it vents any air OUT of the car...it simply turns ON the fan operation...which is gonna just circulate the air inside the cabin. I hope I wrong, because it would be REALLY nice if it would suck the hot air out of the car, but I think it just circulates the air.
it brings in ambient temp air from outside. me, I just call it the 'battery killer' option.

It would be kinda nice if it would crack the windows a small bit when it turns ON the fan...to let the hot air escape...then roll the back up.

Actually...what we really need is some sort of Visual Basic interface....then we could write our own code to get the exact operation we desire...

whether its REST (Residual heat) or parked car operation, both would drain your battery in no time. Take extra caution while using this functionality and be prepared for a jump start.
