These are also available as aftermarket units that you can put into almost
any car. They first heat the engine coolant (which gives you a hot engine
to start), and then the windshield (removing ice and snow) and interior,
using the car's normal heating system.

It's pretty cool to get back to your car in a parking lot where all the
cars are buried in snow and ice, and your car has a clean windshield and
part of the rest of the snow is already melting. Makes it stick out of the
crowd :)
