Jeremy;
Do you know of anyone who has wired a solar powered trickle charger for use when your car is parked outside at school (my daughter's 240D) in below zero temps? We haven't had a starting problem yet this year here in WI even though we haven't seen temps above 25F for more than 6 weeks! Lately we've been -10F to -20F at night with low teens in the day.
Still chugging along!
