While counter intuitive, I've had better luck turning the AC on max which forces the radiator fans to come on and stay on. Personally I think AC on works much better than full heat from personal experience.

Using the defrost setting runs the fans. I tested all the methods when I had my car during Texas summers and this combo worked the best. Keep the car running so you are actually circulating the oil and coolant.

Jason, VLSD is not defeatable but I never found it to be intrusive (read: it doesn't work) aside from the flashing light being distracting. The light in your video at 1:13 is something else though. I would check the manual and see what warning light is located there.
