A vehicle heater adapted to be plugged into a conventional car cigarette lighter. The vehicle heater includes an adapter for plugging the invention into a cigarette lighter, a switch for turning the heater on, a clock for setting a timer to turn the heater on at certain times and indicator lights for indicating when the unit is turned on when the battery power is low and when the air temperature is too high. The heater contains conventional heating elements and can be used in connection with any car cigarette lighter socket.
