Blue Heat? Isn’t that a movie about a super-silent police helicopter?
No.
That was Blue Thunder. Blue Heat is a line of auxiliary heaters from Webasto (www.webasto.com).
Versions are increasingly common on diesel vehicles, which have a tough time

Automakers from Alfa to Fiat to MG Rover to VW offer these units on their
diesel-powered vehicles to increase heat output in the passenger compartment.
