Is it me? When I read i-park I imagined it was an auto parking setting. Perfect for when you pull up late in the services and the only space left is an awkward blind side.

Now that would be cool!

What a fantastic idea, but the cost would put most bosses off buying, some are even asking for air conditioning to be dismantled in their new spec vehicles, in the hope of saving money, and that is just penny pinching, i think a lot of owner drivers would spec that idea, seeing as the weather has been a tad on the warm side lately

Yeah, I’d love it, looks tidier than the pod on the roof although I’m sure I saw a bloke with an R2-D2 dome sticking out of his roof there recently & I thought it’d be cool to double up the function & the aesthetic. I may have been halucenating though.

How much for the I-Cool does anyone know? A pod is about a grand I think.

I was only thinking the other day how good it would be to have a night cooler as well as a night heater. And Volvo already have one.

Not that fleet drivers will be seeing much of it I imagine.

im sure i had something similar in a series 1 FH, i remember being in Spain or somewhere similar and went to bed with the night heater turned round all the way to the left, and it blew out cool air.
