Has Anybody Used Airscarf on ?
If anybody has this feature on their car and has used it in a reasonably cool environment, would you mind sharing your opinions of it. I think I read that it adjusts to vehicle speed. Is that correct? TIA.

I used it this morning in 37 degree weather. It works great in conjunction with the seat heater and the automatic climate control set to 74. I think the blower does go faster as the car goes faster, but I'm not sure. I'll pay more attention tomorrow.
There was one day when a strong, cold wind was blowing straight in through the back of the car and I had to put the top back up. It was 44 degrees outside. Airscarf could not compensate for that 20 mph wind.
But, with normal wind conditions, Airscarf does what it's advertised to do down into the 30's.

It works pretty well with the windows up, but it can't compensate the headwind with windows down.
Did anyone else have issues with theirs not working at purchase? Mine had to have a software update, cuz it wouldn't work with the top down. Worked great with the top up... when you don't need it...
