    Sounds a bit like those heaters that you plug in to heat your home, if you watch proper diy on yt, he took one apart, inside was a 12v fan, the type you find on a computer, a small ceramic element and a circuit board, it would probably be better to invest in one of those windscreen covers..

    Those actually work, they just have a very low output, you might be able to keep a car warm enough not to freeze up, but I doubt if one would defrost an already iced up car in freezing temperatures.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    They're advertised in lots of places, with different names - lots of listings on Amazon in particular. The reviews are not good overall - many people suggest they're a scam.

    One buyer took the device apart, and says it's nothing more than a box with a flashing red light...



    Here are a few links:

    And yet they still gave it two stars. Wonder what the extra star was for? Christmas miracle? 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
