Really marcus??? 
I knew about the law side of things and to be honest don't really cars about that much 
How is somone going to steal my car with a CAT1 alarm on it even if the engine is running anyway? 
And all in 3 minutes or less!?

As it says you can walk away from the car without sitting there waiting for it to cool down...however leaving an unattended running vehicle on a highway is an actual offence...
ha
Be warned...
well u are hardly gonna park up at the side of the road and leave it running there
i think its more beneficial used when parked on your own drive or in your work carpark
therefore not breaking any laws

Who says your are not? say you go the shops and park up on a main road...you cannot always park on a driveway...
As I said though my dad has one of these on his Pajero...and there fine to use...his has a safety device linked into the auto gearbox...if its released out of Park without the keys in the ignition and its still counting down...it shuts the engine down...just dont be leaving it unattended if a police car is in the vicinity...thats all...

I've fitted a GReddy one and an Apexi one to each of my RX7's. Longest part was taking off the plastic bit under the dash.

Turbo times are useless.
you leave your car running to "cool down" its not doing that - its actually heating up because there is no air flow!!
Looks like you got a good deal but these are the most pointless invention ever.

I believe the idea is to let the oil drain from the turbos and for the turbos to cool down slightly, rather than for the whole engine to cool down.
