I think I've heard mention of that before and IIRC it wasn't the best fridge, just a Peltier effect job.

One of the unicorn D2 options (the others for me are leather dash and full electric rear seats) It is just a peltier cooler but it still keeps a can of pop cool. The D3 fridge is a proper compressor version so much more efficient, but also larger than the D2 version so not a simple retrofit.

Interesting....... How much larger is the D3 unit compared to the D2 unit? Has anyone tried to retro fit one in a D2 car?

I would very much like to try, but at >£400 if you can find one, its a rather expensive experiment.

This guy usually has one for a D3 for sale, and it's not as extortionate as UK sellers. They must have been popular in Russia lol
