Default Engine block heater/warmer

Is the Crossfire able to utilize an engine heater/warmer of some kind? I saw somewhere that Canadian models had them standard while the US counterparts did not. While I am mostly interested in having a warmer car to sit in during the winter mornings I would also like it to have an easier time starting for maintenance purposes.

Cars that went to the northern states came with block heaters, they are not too obvious and could easily be missed. I’ll find the thread that mentions them, I did it but it was ten years or so ago now, it was on my 2004 Limited.

Here are the photos of the block heater. the first photo is the one put up by steve1189 and looks to have been added later, the second photo is the one on my 2004 limited. As you can see it is on the right side of the crank pulley.

Although Pennsylvania is considered a Northern state my Crossfires, all originally sold in PA, did not come with block heaters. As it's in a slightly hidden area I decided to double check this morning. The hose going down goes directly to the radiator.

Looks like I have the same setup on mine. Shame, but not unexpected. Thanks all!
