Heating only though, not cooling as far as I know. For cooling the engine has to be running to power the AC compressor. The Aux heater uses a fuel powered heater made by 'Webasto' there are petrol and diesel fueled variants. Buses, boats, lorries and some motorhomes have them too. I had one in my recent X5 4.8iS - it was great though it seriously limits the vehicles ability to wade through water due to the heaters exhaust etc being mounted low down under the car.
