As promised I timed the heater yesterday after work. The outside temperature had risen from -10C to -3C during the day. The car had been parked outside all day (8hours) and not driven.
All settings on the climate control was in Auto mode then I change the output to the front outlets in the dash so I could easier feel the temp. Temperature for both sides were set to 22C. I started the car and drove away.
After 1:30 minute I could feel slight heat coming.
After 2 minutes I could feel real heat coming from the outles.
...so I think the auxilery heaters works quite good !
As I said before, check your battery if it doesn't work. I think the battery management turn off things that is not essential if the battery is weak.
