JunkJul 20, 2010 I have ceramic tint in my windows and the fan immediately spins when sunlight hits it. The problem is that the fan doesn't move any air. Even when I hold it to the sunlight and place my hand over the air outlet, you can't feel any airflow. They use an impeller type fan, and it doesn't move any air. Save your money, this thing is junk.

just more junkJul 05, 2010 did nothing for my car. i bought a sun reflector for the windshield and this lowered the temperature far more than this item. junk, just not worth the shipping and handling charge it has to be installed everytime you wish to use it. needed a cover over the outlet so that when you are driving and want to use the AC you don't lose AC out the vent of the device.

Auto Vent Solar Powered and their limitationsJun 30, 2010 I live in middle east where sun is scorching more than moon always. Temperatures are roughly 120F normal for months and 150F in peak times. This product cannot work if you have tinted windows (which I do have it) and you cannot keep your car without tints otherwise you will burn your skin. The solar sensor needs direct sun light which means if the car is in part shade then it will not work.
There is a ventilation channel or Adapter you have to install with this product it comes along with it and it creates air pockets gap between your window glass and this equipment.This air pocket or channel creates air passage which is killing if you live in desert locality, your car will be having dust inside as much as outside.
Otherwise inconvenience I have felt is if you run A/C and you have this fan installed on your any windows with air passage channel strip then the A/C air will be leaking out and hot air will be coming in, you will never be able to achieve the maximum level of A/C performance with this. Solution ? install it when you park your car in scorching sun and then uninstall it everytime you want to drive away and to me this is a major inconvenience. Because when you are suited for meeting and there is a sun outside of 122F , you really just wana get in to you vehicle ready start with A/C on to maintain the temps. Instead of standing outside and fixing unfixing this fan. To me , this product might be useful for other region but not for desert or middle east atleast.
Beware, Air pocket strip also creates good opportunity for thieves to unlock your doors because there is a gap of 1.5inches created for the fan body by air strip.

Don't wast your moneyJun 21, 2010 I gave this product one star but would have preferred the option to give it no stars. I bought the Trillium Worldwide TWI-7001 AutoVent Solar-Powered Ventilator. This produce does not give the information needed to make a decision about buying it. It is true that it is solar powered but it doesn't tell you there is no storage battery and for it to work the sun must hit directly on the solar panels and that just isn't going to happen all day. I have yet to see it move. I am very dissatisfied with this product. It was a waste of money.
