To save money you could do it my way.
Cabin heating is not as efficient because it relies on convection within the coolant system but it was rather effective. In the winter my first job after falling out of bed was peering out of the bedroom window at the car. If the screen was frozen I just pressed and held the heater remote button for a few seconds then went to do my ablutions. By the time I was ready for work the car was always warm enough to clear the windows of ice, note ALL the windows. The car was not roasting but was appreciably warmer than outside.
Another bonus was after this mod I never again had frozen locks or door seams.
Just note the warning about soldering, but at nearly 81 I am still soldering much smaller things so if you can solder just practice and hone your skills.
Good luck.
