I never really make it to full use for my DIY because it is a bit troublesome as I did not install it properly. Only DIY to test and learn...
Well there are a few ways to can do it.
FIRST Way. Cheap, Fast and easy. (If your Cigg Lighter 12Volt plug is ON when engine is OFF)
- Get a 12Volt PC Fan
- Get an old Car Handphone charger.
- Cut away the Plug Jack for the phone charging.
- Wire in the 12 Volt fan.
- Make a braket using alluminium to hang the fan on your window.
- When locking the car, leave a 2 inch gap on the front windows
- Hang your fan there to BLOW OUT hot air from the car.
::: If your cig lighter 12Volt plug is ON only car engine is ON. Then you need to tap the power source from your Fuse Box.. and add a switch. :::

Second way. Professional, costly and neat.
- Install 2 X 12volt fan in the Air Con fresh air intake. (These vent the outside air into your car when you switch your aircon dial to FRESH AIR)
- Make sure the fan are SUCKING air IN (Not blowing out)
- Wire it to remote powersource and switch.
- WHen you lock your car, remember to turn your air con vent to FRESH and then turn on the fan.. and also windon your window a bit. (1inch from each window)
- You will feel air coming in..
----------
WARNING !!!
DO not leave the FAN ON for days.. Drains minimal power.. But 3 days continuous is not good for the battery..
