They sold one at Napa in Wyoming for $50 that connected inline with one of the heater hoses, and it had a pump in it to circulate the coolant, I never got one though.
Block heaters and battery warmers are available from Subaru, they are not that expensive (IIRC, ~$50 for the block heater and ~$30 for the battery warmer) and even if you don't live where it gets uber cold and you actually NEED it, the car will start easier + warm up faster when it's cold.
My truck's diesel, and it has a block heater in it standard (Says it's recommended below 40 degrees and required below 0, but I've started it below 0 without it) and all I did was I went to Wally World and bought an outdoor timer that would handle 1800W, and set it to kick the block heater in about 3 hours before I got up to go to school, worked great!
