My husband and I have two small dogs who travel with us. I was wondering if there is anyway we could run the AC when the car is parked without running the engine. We live in the south and it's frequently to hot to leave the dogs in the car without any AC.

Hi there,

No, this is not possible sorry, you need to have the engine running to drive the compressor.
