I have hot air with the engine off, until the engine cools off, it doesn't have a secondary electric heater, just dumps engine heat. Although mine is a facelift model, key has to be in position 2 for it to work though.

Yep, same on my car. Thanks!
Maybe I will add an auxiliary heating system, it can get really cold around here.
Some of them can be controlled remotely, so I will turn them on, 10 minutes before going into the car

Extended heat function
This is a really nice feature if you want heat while sitting in the car and don't want to leave the engine running to (providing the engine is at operating temperature when shut off). For a period of time, the coolant will flow through the heat exchanger and the cabin fan will run at a preset low speed. Really nice feature!
My friend bought an Audi 2.5 diesel in Germany that has an excellent supplemental system. It actually has a diesel heater integrated into the coolant system. He uses a key fob to remotely turn on the heater. No ice on the windows, the interior is nice and toasty and the engine is at a nice warm temp before start! This would really be a nice mod for anyone living in extreme winter conditions in the US. First time I've seen one on a passenger car.
