Product Description
AutoVent SPV silently and efficiently eliminates stale, stuffy air from inside your vehicle, even on the hottest summer days! While your windows remain securely closed this unique solar-powered ventilator draws hot air and odors, including pet and tobacco odors out of your vehicle and replaces it with fresh air from outside. Since AutoVent SPV runs directly on natural, FREE solar energy, there's no drain on your vehicles battery and no batteries to replace or recharge ever! Installation is easy! Simply attach the included weatherproof fitting strips, place the unit on top of the window edge and roll the window closed. AutoVent SPV helps to preserve and protect your vehicles interior, valuable stereo and electronic equipment from the damaging effects of extreme heat build-up. AutoVent SPV also assists in reducing the strain on your air-conditioning system during start-up. Please note that this product loses effectiveness on cars with tinted windows. This is due to the fact that solar energy cannot penetrate through the tint.

 Worthless. Paid money to throw it away. December 14, 2008
I bought this because I was delivering food for a living, and I had to park on the streets in the summer time. My car would get unbearably hot. So, I purchased this in desperation; hoping it would prevent my constant dehydration.br /br /FIRST OFF, it requires you to cut this rubber stop so that it'll fit your car window. If you don't, according to them, then it doesn't work. Which doesn't make sense, because air flow is air flow.br /br /SECOND OFF, it does not run on Solar Power. It runs on photo-senors, which is different, because photo-sensors require a certain amount of light to power the circuit. And though, this is the same as Solar Power, it is not the same function as Phot-Voltaic, which is that ANY light, triggers it.br /br /THIRD OFF, it simply doesn't work. I still had a tough time grabbing the steering wheel and my seat belt and the like. The only drop in temperature, occurred when the windows were rolled down; NOT because of this product, but because there was natural air flow. And to test it, later, I put it up against focused light. The fan DOESN'T PUSH ANY AIR! It just whirls around, making a faint noise as it laughs at you (metaphorically, of course.)br /br /Don't buy; I did, and now it's at the bottom of a dump, with a TV from 1974.
Bad customer service!! September 8, 2008
I cannot give a complete review of this product because I never received it, however I was charged for it. I tried to contact the seller with no success!
 Not Impressed September 7, 2008
Looks good on paper, but the units really don't work well. I purchased two, and the difference in the car's temperature not much. The fams turn only in the brightest of light when the car is oriented 90 degrees sideways to the sun, which is not always possible. The cases flex when the window closes so the fan won't turn, so fooling around with them to get them just right takes time, then water can leak in if you get a thunderstorm because the fit isn't tight.
Piece of Junk July 12, 2008
While this thing works fine in the sunlight outside a vehicle, it totally fails to operate when applied to a vehicle window as directed. I tried it in three different vehicles with only very little window tinting. A much better design would be to have the solar panel on the outside of the glass.
Not a Good Product. June 18, 2008
The problems of ths product are:br /br /1) It doesn't fit in my windows. I'ved tried it in my 2 cars but still it doesn't fit in it.br /br /2) The weather strips are too short. I searched it on the internet for additional weather strips but it was not available. And for all I know is it is really not available in market/stores.br /br /3) The solar plates must be facing directly to sunlight. There are some instances that the AutoVent is not working because of the angle of sun rays.br /br /4) The strips are hardly to remove. If you set it up for the leftside of your car window, it should always be at the left side. if you choose to change the position to the right window, it is hard to remove the strips from the AutoVent to set it up for the right window.br /br /5) the AutoVent is not practical if you are installing it up if you are in a hurry.
